59 -- VME CHASSIS SOL N00164-96-Q-0233 DUE 042696 POC Contact - Terry Davis, 812-854-3704, FAX 812-854-5666; Doug McDaniel, Contracting Officer The Navy requires 3 each 10-slot VME chassis for the U.S. Marine Corps Air Defense Communications Platforms. The VME enclosure will be mounted by the Government in a 19'' equipment rack that is located in a transportable shelter on the back of a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle. The chassis shall include all hardware required for mounting in the rack, including bearing-less slides. The slides shall be constructed of steel and support the chassis in an environment where up to 30g of shock may be experienced in any direction. The slides shall be pre-drilled to match the dimensions of the rack and shall provide, when extended, access to the rear of the VME chassis. When the VME chassis is mounted in the 19'' rack, the chassis (including captive screws, switches, etc.) shall not extend more than one inch beyond the front of the rack. The VME chassis shall have an overall depth of no more than 20'' and shall be designed to accept 10 6U VME boards. The boards shall be accessible from the front or the top of the unit. The boards shall be accessible via captive screws and shall be recessed to prevent bending of connectors/cables when attached to the cards. The chassis shall be ruggedized to withstand operation temperatures of 0 to 100 degrees F and storage temperatures of - 60 to 160 degrees F. The unit shall withstand humidities of up to 81% at temperatures below 89.6 degrees F and shall withstand any relative humidity encountered at temperatures above 89.6 degrees F. The unit operate at altitudes between -30 and 15,000 feet, and shall withstand storage altitudes up to 40,000 feet. The enclosure shall meet CE03, CS02, CS06, RE02, and RS03 electromagnetic interference test requirements of MIL-STD-461C. The chassis shall have a connector backplane on the rear of the unit that is removable without modifying the rest of the chassis. The chassis shall have connectors and internal cabling for the following interfaces: G.E.T. Engineering NTDS VME board (P/N 10042301); Digital Technology Incorporated MIL-STD-1553 VME board (P/N DTI-VME/S); port A of a Simpact EIA-449 VME board (P/N ICP6000B-B); Simpact MIL-STD-188C VME board (P/N ICP6000E-B); and a Bit 3 S-Bus Adapter board (P/N 467-1). There shall be 5 unused slots remaining in the VME chassis, and the backplane shall allow room for extra connectors to be added in the future, if required. The VME chassis shall be powered by 120 VAC, 60 Hz, single phase power. The power supply shall be easily removable for maintenance, and the power switch shall have a light that illuminates when power is applied to the VME cards. Cooling fans shall be required with air inlets provided with filters. Operator's manuals and separate drawings of the full VME chassis shall be provided by the contractor. Delivery shall be FOB destination to NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane within 65 days of contract award. This item is being procured under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP).
