This 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. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Dahlgren Laboratory Procurement Division is implementing Electronic Commerce (EC) in the acquisition area, therefore synopsis and resulting solicitation with any applicable amendments will be available on the World Wide Web at http://www.nswc.navy.mil under Procurement Division or at http://nswc.navy.mil/supply. Solicitation and amendments are only available at the above Web sites. Hard copies WILL NOT be provided. Vendors should regularly access the NSWCDD Web Site to ensure that they have downloaded all amendments. The solicitation number is N00178-98-R-3028 and is an RFP. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-04 and Defense Acquisition Circular 91-12. This is a 100% Small Business Set-aside, SIC 3827 -- 750 employees. This requirement is a Firm-Fixed Price contract for the acquisition of a High Band Width Optical Field-Mapping System. This system consists of : CLIN 0001 (1) Each, High Band Width Optical Field-Mapping System C.1 OVERVIEW This system will be used to measure electric fields in a broad frequency range up to one gigahertz (GHz). It consists of field probes, which generate an electrical signal proportional to the sensed electrical field; a digital oscilloscope which records, processes and stores the time-varying electric signals generated by the probes; and fiber-optic links, which transmit the signals from the probes, via an optical fiber to the digital oscilloscope. The different probes cover different regions of the frequency spectrum and different field amplitude ranges. The optical links electrically isolates the probes from the recording instrument. This isolation is necessary to prevent electrical "noise" from interfering with the fidelity of the measured signals.

The Contractor shall be solely responsible for delivery of fully operational Pulse Power High Band Width Optical Field Mapping System. The Contractor shall provide detailed schedule of delivery. It is required that the Contractor ensure all parts and components of the system, as delivered, are new parts. The Contractor is the single responsible source for this effort which includes the system (correctly assembled commercial hardware), delivery, and a commercial warranty.
