16 -- BASIC RADIATION ATTENUATING DEVICE SOL USZA95-97-G-0001,DO 1A01 DUE 062398 POC David Garner, 757-878-5223, x241 WEB: http://www.usa.gov/procurement/index.html, http://www.usa.gov/procurement/index.html. E-MAIL: dgarner@tapo.eustis.army.mil, dgarner@tapo.eustis.army.mil. The U.S Army Special Operations Command intends to issue a solicitation for a firm-fixed-price contract with ITT to design a basic radiation attenuating device (BRAD) mount for the 47E aircraft. Required delivery is 17 July 1998 for preliminary data and prototype. The purpose of this design effort is to move the MH47E ALQ-162 forward antenna, that was to be installed on the radome tip, to an alternative location and reduce the forward AN/ALQ-162 antenna radio frequency (RF) energy to an acceptable level. The BRAD mount will be filled with radar absorbing materials to house the ALQ-162 antenna and isolate its radiation from the APR-39A(V)1 antennas that are located further aft at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. The intended source is ITT Avionics, 100 Kingsland Road, Clifton, NJ. ITT possess engineering expertise and technical data to develop the BRAD mount in a timely manner. Interested persons may identify themselves to the contracting officer. This is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. See Note 22. (0160)
