A -- LONG RANGE INTRUDER/EQUIPMENT SENSOR POC Susan Benik, Negotiator, (703) 325-6962, Edward Archer, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-5028. The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) is seeking commercial vendors of technology which will detect nonlinear electronic junctions in equipment such as cordless electric tools, small LED flashlights, communications equipment, night vision devices, fuse timers, and eavesdropping equipment, etc. at long distances. The optimum detection distance is one kilometer, however ranges of 100 meters or less are acceptable if it can be determined/shown that with future development, the performance ranges can be extended. Detection sensors utilizing this technology, at the ranges specified, have a potential to reduce nuisance alarms normally associated with animals, background objects, moving foilage, etc., because detection of nonlinear electronic junctions would indicate the likelihood of an intruder as opposed to other physical phenomena. Interested parties are requested to provide by 30 Sep 96; (1) specification or engineering documents or brochures which describe the capabilities of their commercially available or nondevelopmental item devices which meet the requirements specified above; (2) cost of these devices, both individually and in quantity; and (3) point(s) of contact who can provide additional information, if required. Based upon the results of this Sources Sought announcement, a solicitation may or may not be issued at a later date. Questions concerning this announcement can be addressed to Ms. Susan Benik, DSWA/AMA at (703) 325-6962. All information should be mailed to Headquarters, Defense Special Weapons Agency, Attn: Ms. Susan Benik/AMA, 6801 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22310-3398. If the information can be faxed, you may fax it to Ms. Susan Benik at (703) 325-9291. This synopiss is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), and is not to be considered as a commitment by the U.S. Government. The Government will not pay for any information received as a result of this Sources Sought announcement.
