70 -- TEKTRONIX DAS-XP SYSTEM ANALYZER AND RELATED EQUIPMENT. SOL N00421-97-Q-1024 DUE 021097 POC Bill Jones, Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer, (301) 342-1825 x153. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, MD plans to acquire on a firm fixed price basis a Tektronix, Inc. Model DAS-XP System Analyzer for the Manned Flight Simulator, Flight Controls Branch, 4.3.2.4., Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, Maryland, 20670-5304. The DAS-XP is an expandable hardware & software integration debugging tool for a wide variety of systems and architectures. This system will provide the capability to debug and integrate the hardware and software for the 68020-based F-14 Digital Flight Control System (DFCS). This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with format in the Federal Acquisition regulation (FAR), Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Proposals are being requested. A written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation # N00421-96-R-5068 is issued as a Request For Proposal (RFP). The incorporated document, provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 90-41 and Defense Acquisition Circular 91-10. This acquisition will be negotiated on a sole source basis with Tektronix, Inc. Federal Hub, Beaverton, Oregon under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement. The sole source determination is based on the following factors: [A] The laboratory testing/debugging hardware for the F-14 DFCS system at Patuxent River must be compatible with the hardware in use at the contractor's site (GEC-Marconi Avionics in Rochester, Kent, England). Currently, GEC-Marconi is using a Tektronix DAS-XP system to debug the DFCS hardware and software in England before delivery to Patuxent River. [B] Debugging techniques and/or unique software approaches must be easily transportable between the two sites during DFCS hardware and software integration tasks. [C] Due to year spent using a borrowed DAS-XP anddebugging the F-14 DFCS software, MFS engineers and GEC-Marconi engineers have become extremely adept at using many of the Tektronix DAS-XP features. This amount of time invested would be immediately and wholly transferable to a new DAS-XP system for the F-14 DFCS program. [D] Use of the borrowed DAS-XP for the 68020-based DFCS applications necessitated the purchase a 68020 Adapter Probe and the 68020 software to run on the borrowed DAS-XP. The direct DAS-XP System acquisition must be 100% compatible with these exisxting hardware and software items with to make a complete system for analysis of three individual processors at one time. [E] Government and contractor time would be wasted by constantly attempting to decipher and analyze data from two completely different debugging tools. Disassembly of the DFCS software performed at one site would not be readily usable at the other site if two completely different debugging tools were used. The applicable Standard Industrial Classification code is 3571.
