58 -- PURCHASE OF DATA RECORDING SYSTEM SOL F04700-97-T-1024 DUE 010897 POC Mike Keeling, Contract Specialist (805) 277-3900 ext 2249, John Lemacks, Contracting Officer (805) 277-3900 ext 2253 WEB: On-line Acquisition Solicitation Information System, http://cpf.edwards.af.mil/contract/rfp.html. E-MAIL: click e-mail link to contact the POC, keelingm%pk@mhs.elan.af.mil. Edwards AFB CA is seeking potential sources for the following items: 1 each Data to Video Encoder, Merlin Engineering Works P/N ME-981; 1 each 2 Channel MIL-STD 1553 Interface for ME-981, Merlin Engineering Works P/N 981-1553RAB; 1 each Video to Data Decoder, Merlin Engineering Works P/N ME-991; 1 each 2 Channel MIL-STD 1553 Interface for ME-991, Merlin Engineering Works P/N 991-1553RAB. The systems must meet the following criteria; Data Input -- 2 redundant Mil-Std-1553 buses, separate primary and secondary channels; Video Output -- Frequency Response: 0.1 db to 3 Mhz; Group Delay Ripple: less than 25 nsec to 2.7 Mhz; 75 Ohm line; Composite 525 line NTSC monochrome or composite 625 line PAL monochrome video; Power -- 28 VDC per Mil-Std-704D at less than 20 watts; Physical -Size: 4.6 x 6 x 6 inches; Weight: 6 pounds; Mounting: Hard mount, any axis; Environmental -- Operating Humidity: 95% per Mil-Std-810E, Method 507.3, Procedure III; Operating Temperature: -30 C to +65 C per Mil-Std-810E, Method 501.3, Procedure II and Method 502.3, Procedure II; Explosive Atmosphere: Per Mil-Std-810E, Method 511.3, Procedure I; Operating Altitude: 60,000 feet in accordance with Mil-Std-810D, Method 500.2, Procedure II; Acceleration: 10g's per Mil-Std-810E, Method 513.4, Procedure II; Random Vibration: 10.5g's rms per Mil-Std-810E, Method 514.4, Procedure I; Operating Shock: 40g's per Mil-Std-810E, Method 516.4, Procedure I; Salt Fog: Per Mil-Std-810E, Method 509.3, Procedure I; the encoder must also be able to accept any other Merlin ME-981 Interface Modules (which are proprietary) which may currently exist and be used by aircraft at Edwards Air Force Flight Test Center, so the laboratory can duplicate the actual system configuration for system checkout/diagnostic purposes; Video to Data Decoder -- Video Input - 75 Ohm terminating from playback tapedeck; Composite 525 line NTSC monochrome or composite 625 line PAL monochrome video; Video Output (for test only)- Composite 525 line NTSC monochrome or composite 625 line PAL monochrome video; Data Output -- 2 redundant Mil-Std-1553 buses, separate primary and secondary channels; Power -- 110/220 VAC 50/60 Hz, less than 80 watts; Physical Size -- Standard EIA rack mounting, 3.42" H x 19.40" D x 19.00" W (with rack ears installed); Weight: 14 pounds; the decoder must also be able to decode video which was recorded using a Merlin ME 981 Data Encoder (as is currently done by aircraft at the AFFTC). Note: The decoder must also be capable of outputting other data formats if required (depending on what interface the encoder used). The 2 redundant Mil-Std-1553 is the only one specified here. All interested sources that can provide equivalent items to those identified above must send in descriptive literature of your proposed items in sufficient detail to describe your technical capability. Offerors must provide this information by close of business on 8 Jan 97. The information can be faxed to (805) 258-9656, attn Mike Keeling. Anticipated date for issuance of a RFQ is 15 Jan 97.
