14 -- SOLID STATE QUARTZ RATE SENSORS SOL N68936-98-R-0102 POC Janelle M. Etoch, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-9669 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract for solid state quartz rate sensors to support telemetry systems for the SIDEWINDER Missile Project training rounds. The rate sensors measure, in degrees, the roll rate of the missile under test, and will be physically placed in the telemetry section, which replaces the warhead section of the SIDEWINDER Missile which will be destroyed during testing. The required dimensions of the missile design for rate sensors are 1.625 inches maximum diameter and 0.640 inches maximum thickness. The following additional characteristics are provided: Electrical -- Input Voltage: + or -- 5 VDC, + or -- 5%; Input Power: <.8 watts; Full Scale Output: + or -- 2.5 VDC. Performance -- Range: + or -- 500 degrees/s; Bandwidth: >80 Hz. Environmental -- Operating Temperature: -40 to +70 degrees C; Storage Temperature: -55 to +110 degrees C. A minimum of 90 units will be ordered and a maximum of 250 units may be ordered over the five year term of the contract. The first order will be for 90 units to be delivered at the rate of 20 units per month beginning 90 days after issuance of delivery order until the quantity of 90 units is delivered. This procurement will be awarded on a Sole Source basis to Systron Donner Inertial Division because of its ability to meet the required form, fit, and function specified in a pre-existing missile telemetry fabrication package. Using a device other than the one specified would require a mechanical and electronic re-design of the missile system. See Note(s): 22. (0083)
