58 -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR THREE (3) EA SATELLITE UPLINK EMWIN 9600 BAUD MODULATORS. SOL WASC8-783 DUE 031198 POC Randall Brown (voice) (206) 526-6226/FAX (206) 526-6025 Request for Quotation WASC-8-783 issued to purchase three (3) ea. satellite uplink EMWIN 9600 baud modulators. Modulators must include asynchronous to synchronous converter which accepts RS-232 data at 9600 baud and convert it to synchronous TTL data, mount in a 19" rack panel, include AC/DC power supply, and meet or exceed 1.0x10 (-6) bit error ratio. Modulator must accept synchronous data from async/sync converter and convert it to V.35 encoded DFSK data modulated onto a 72-74 Mhz carrier which is adjustable in .00125 Mhz steps, be assembled in a 19" rack cabinet, include AC/DC power supply, meet or exceed 1.0x10(-6) bit error ratio, exhibit frequency stability at 72-74 Mhz or better than 3ppm between 10 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius, and deviate +/- 3.6Khz from center frequency. Each unit shall be tested for period of 720 hours (30 days x 24 hours per day) prior to delivery to ensure adherence to above specs. Tests shall be conducted at a facility close to NWS Headquarters in Silver Spring,MD to allow spot-checking for test accuracy by NWS personnel. Do not quote on this solicitation unless proposed unit meets ALL of the above specifications and offeror agrees to testing/acceptance requirements. Provide FOB destination price to Silver Spring, MD. State best availability of modulators, and provide Federal tax ID number and DUNS number with quote. State if small business. This is a simplified acquisition with an estimated value of less than $100,000. All responsible sources may submit a quote, which shall be considered by the agency. (0055)
