Equipment shall be delivered to the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Detachment, New London, CT. The Government intends to solicit a quotation from Spectrum Signal Processing via written RFQ N66604-96- Q-H897 and to award a contract via Simplified Acquisition Procedures on or before 30 September 1996. Quotations will be due in this office no later than 27 September 1996. The reason why other than Full and Open Competition procedures are being used is that this equipment is replacing DSP system components that are being removed from the fleet. The replacement equipment must be identical in form, fit and function so that they will operate with existing equipment. Spectrum Signal Processing is the original manufacturer of the DSP system in place and all DSP components are linked within the DSP system by means of an on-board intranet called DSP-Link, which is proprietary to Spectrum Signal Processing. The Spectrum DSP system has also been designed to operate utilizing the SPOX language operating system. All sources that believe they have the capability to meet the Government's requirement may submit a proposal which will be considered by NUWCDIVNPT. Requests for copies of the RFQ may be faxed to (401) 841-4820, attn.: Mr. Joseph Masterson. See Note 22 (0250)
