58 -- TELEMETRY DATA PREPROCESSORS POC Linda Ellston, Contract Negotiator, (805) 277-3900 ext 2279 Sally L. Raymond, Contracting Officer, (805) 277-3900 ext 2285. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) is seeking sources for Telemetry Data Preprocessors (TDP) and related on- and off-site technical services to support the Test Instrumentation Management System (TIMS) and the Advanced Airborne Instrumentation System (AATIS). A firm-fixed requirements contract is contemplated to extend over a five year period. TDP hardware includes Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) decommutation units and a substantial variety of equipment/components related to these units. The TDPs must accept up to four 15 Mbit PCM streams; provide an internal simulator; allow individual parameter characteristic definition (MSB, length, data type, etc.); provide highspeed processing algorithms, ADC inputs, and DAC outputs; handle asynchronous/embedded PCM streams; provide local and remote (host) setup and control; and be supported by user friendly software setup tools written in C for porting to and integration with Data General host processors. Technical support services include systems analyst support, corrective maintenance of hardware, small-scale custom enhancements to the existing software, and training. The AFFTC has been acquiring TDP units from Acroamatics, Inc., 70 S. Kellogg Ave., Goleta, CA since August 1990 under Contract F04611-90-D-0084, which was awarded under full and open competition. The TIMS and associated software have been developed since that time with the Acroamatics TDP functioning as the front end decom system. Interested sources must be capable of supplying TDPs which are fully compatible with TIMS, and must submit clear and convincing documentation to demostrate their capability to meet the Government's requirement. Firms possessing the capabilities to perform are invited to submit a written ''Statement of Capabilities'' in response to this synopsis. Statements of capability shall be limited to 15 pages and shall include as a minimum: (1) evidence of past performance in the above areas, (2) related projects and/or existing systems, and (3) Type/Size of business (large business, small business, 8(a), etc.). Only written responses will be accepted. Questions referencing technical information should be submitted in writing to: 412 TW/TSDI, ATTN: Mr. Charles M. Richey, 25 N. Wolfe Ave., Bldg 3949, Edwards AFB, CA 93524-8300, and a copy of the transmittal letter for the statement of capabilities to Linda Ellston at the AFFTC/PKA address. This information is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for proposal. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided in response to this synopsis. Telephone requests to be placed on the mailing list will not be accepted. (0052)
