61 -- THREE-PHASE, TRAILOR MOUNTED, 15-KW OUPUT CAPACITY DIESEL GENERATOR SOL N68936-99-R-0164 POC Erin Strand, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-7309 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA, intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price type contract for three-phase, trailer-mounted, 15-kW output capacity diesel generators. The generators will be used as the prime power source for NAWCWPNS Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM). The KTM system presents an unbalanced three-phase load requiring an independent three-phase voltage regulation. In addition, the servo system regulates input power through the use of a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) input stage. Distortion resulting from the non-linear SCR operation is reflected back into the generator output. The three-phase voltage regulator must be able to properly control the phase output voltages in this noisy environment. It is mandatory that the generator systems be able to reliably and continually provide power, operating under stringent conditions. The generators will be exposed to desert, mountain, and ocean environments on the China Lake and Point Mugu test ranges. Operating conditions include temperatures in excess of 120 F and below freezing. They will be subjected to blowing sand, alkali, rain, snow, salt-laden air, high humidity, and very dry conditions. Many miles of unimproved roads access the ranges, requiring that the trailers have a high clearance and be of heavy-duty construction. Paint requirements, chassis metal gage, sound attenuation, EPA certification, etc., as specified in the Statement of Work, are all firm requirements based on the environments and critical military test application. Failure to operate will result in loss of critical and very expensive test data that the Navy cannot afford to duplicate. Key to this procurement is that the three-phase generator output is constantly monitored by a MotorSaver brand protection device in the KTM. This device requires that phase balance be maintained within 6% and that the balanced phased outputs be within 10% of 208 VRMS line-to-line. Six units will be purchased with delivery 120 days after contract award. This procurement will be awarded on a Sole Source basis to Wenzlau Engineering, Pasadena, CA, because their generator has power of sufficient quality that the KTM system will readily accept it without the MotorSaver going into reset under dynamic servo operation. Respondents, other than the above, should submit, at a minimum, their qualifications and any other information considered pertinent to the requirement to the Contract Specialist within 45 days after CBD publication of synopsis. All responsible sources will be considered by the agency. See Note(s): 26. Posted 07/26/99 (I-SN359010). (0207)
