E-MAIL: Mary E. McKaig, Mary.E.McKaig.1@gsfc.nasa.gov. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC requires an integrated test system capable of meeting the following characteristics with respect to radiated susceptibility test signals specified by the Goddard Environmental Verification Test Specification. These characteristics are: A) Broadband Amplifier with 30-dB Low Noise Signal Gain over the Frequency Range from 10-kHz to 1000-MHz. Amplifier must meet or exceed operational and performance characteristics of the Amplifier Research (AR) Model LN1000AM4. B) Companion antennas/E-field generators compatible with Low Noise Amplifier, meeting or exceeding the performance characteristics (including VSWR matched to the Broadband Amplifier) of the following AR unit: (1) model AT3000 E-field Generator -- 100 V/m at 1-m from elements over the 10-kHz to 30-MHz frequency range. Form factor of antenna elements to match AT3000 to facilitate use in a 15'x15' test area; (2) model AT3100 E-field Generator -- Dual Element 10-kHz to 100-MHz, input power capability to 500-W; (3) Model AT1080 80-1000 MHz Log Periodic Antenna Minimum gain 6.5-dB; max power 1000-W min.; (4) Field/Measurement-Monitoring Kit, including: (a) Four AR FP5000 Isotropic Field Probes, (b) One AR FM5004 Field Monitor Frame (includes interface cards for AR FP5000 Field Probes), (c) Four Non-metallic Tripods -- Model TP1000A or Equivalent, (d) Ten AR FC2003 Glass Cables -- 3-m, (e) Five AR FC2015 Glass Cables -- 15-m, and (f) Sixteen AR FT2000 Bulkhead Feedthroughs; and (5) RF Power Monitoring Kit, including: (a) Boonton Model 4230 Power Meter or equivalent [must be compatible with (b) and (c)], (b) Boonton Model 51075 Sensor, 500-kHz to 18-GHz, and (c) Boonton Model 51011 EMC, Sensor 10-kHz to 18-GHz.
