59 -- CRYSTAL REFERENCE OSCILLATOR SOL DAAD01-99-R-0002 DUE 021699 POC Ms. Pamela Nevels, (520)328-6154, FAX: (520)328-6849 This is a Research and Development Sources Sought solicitation using multiphase procedures for Hardened Crystal Reference Oscillators capable of surviving (g) forces of 0.5k, 30k and 100k. These oscillators will be used in support of the Hardened Subminiature Telemetry Sensor System Project (HSTSS) and will be integrated into the Telemetry Transmitter developed by M/A-COM. This requirement is being solicited on an unrestricted basis. The required delivery is 6 months for the 0.5k oscillators, 12 months for the 30k oscillators and 18 months for the 100k oscillators from the time of contract award. This multi-phase solicitation will consist of three phases. Phase I- Pre-qualification of offerors, Phase II- Issue of the Request for Proposal package and Phase III -- Oral Presentations. This synopsis represents Phase I of this solicitation. All interested sources must submit a pre-qualification package consisting of the following criteria: 1) The company must demonstrate through past or present information, that they have been involved with high-g crystal oscillator development work in the frequency range of 1MHz or higher within the past three (3) years; 2) The company is currently in the process of producing or have produced crystal oscillators capable of surviving a minimum shock pulse of 10,000(g) peak, 0.5 ms, half sine wave. These crystal oscillator units shall be no larger than .52x .52x.25inches with capabilities of being packaged down to a minimum size of .35x.30x.15 inches; 3) The primary lead technician or technical expert(engineer) shall have a minimum of 10 years experience in the development of Crystal Reference Oscillators. A draft performance specification for the hardened crystal reference oscillator is available on the USAYPG Contracting web page at http://www.army.mil/contracting. At the Contracting homepage click on RFP's and then on oscillator. The above pre-qualification information shall be submitted no later than 4:00 PM. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on 15 December 1998. Any comments or technical questions concerning the draft performance specifications will be accepted through 07 January 1999. All information shall be clearly marked with the RFP number DAAD01-99-R-0002 and submitted to the Commander, United States Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG), Office of Contracting, Attention Ms. Pamela Nevels, Building 2100, Yuma Arizona 85365-9106. A complete solicitation package will be issued by 15 January 1999 to the offerors that have been pre-qualified in accordance with this synopsis. See Note 25. Posted 11/24/98 (W-SN274645). (0328)
