Duty Cycle of 0.002 minimum. Cooling to be forced air. Filament Voltage is 30 Vac Maximum. Filament Current is 30 A Maximum. Pulse Voltage is 50 kV maximum. Peak Current is 70 A maximum. Output Flange is 3.125 inch EIA (Transition to 3.125 EIA Flange must be removable and capable of outputting to either side of the magnetron.) Depth, Width, Height above mounting plate and Height below mounting plates as well as Output is as shown on drawings provided on the Dahlgren Homepage at http://www.nswc.navy.mil/supply. Cathode and heater leads shall be nominally 12 inches in length and clearly identified. The magnetrons shall be warranted for a minimum of 1 year from shipment date. The magnetron shall be manually tunable and equipped with a hand knob with a numeric scale. The magnetron shall be capable of normal operation without electrical breakdown with the input bushing at normal atmospheric conditions (e.g., no oil bath). All materials used shall be newly manufactured. The tube shall be capable of normal operation prior to and immediately after exposure to 15 g impact shocks, 11 plus/minus 1 ms in duration. 18 shocks shall be delivered; 3 each axis per direction. The tube shall be capable of normal operations prior to and immediately after exposure to 25 and 50 Hz simple harmonic vibration. The tube shall be vibrated in all three axes for a period of one minute with double amplitude of 0.080 inches (total excursion). The magnetron shall be capable of maintaining a pressure of 25 psia applied to the output window with no leaks evident. DESCRIPTION: C.1 Item Definition: Please see above. BEST VALUE EVALUATION CRITERIA: 1.0 This requirement will be evaluated on a Best Value basis. 2.0 Minimum Requirement Methodology -- each offeror will be evaluated to determine if their proposal meets the minimum requirements as stated above. 3.0 Added Value Methodology. There are two elements which have added value to the Government. Past Performance is essentially two times as important as the other added element, Performance. Performance -- exceeds the minimum requirements for frequency range, peak power output, duty cycle, tube life warranty, availability of on-site support and test procedures which demonstrate thatall specifications are met. It is desired that all offerors be ISO 9001 registered. Past Performance -- Each offeror shall provide the name and points of contact (to include e-mail addresses and facsimile numbers) of the last five sales to whom they have provided the same or similar equipment. Each reference/point of contact will be asked to rate the quality of the product, timeliness of delivery, product support, and cost control. Past performance is essentially two times as important as the added value element Performance. 4.0 Price is not scored in this evaluation and is not considered the most important evaluation factor. The importance of price as an evaluation factor will increase with the degree of equality of the proposals in relation to the remaining evaluation factors. After evaluation of the technical and price proposals, cost may be the deciding factor for selection, depending on whether a highly evaluated technical proposal warrants the evaluated price difference. 5.0 Specific Evaluation Criteria: Minimum Requirements -- See CLIN 0001 description above. Added Value Items: There are two added value elements of the description in which exceeding the minimum requirements are an added value to the Government. DELIVERY SCHEDULE: All deliveries shall be inspected and accepted at a point of destination, and delivered FOB Destination to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, 17320 Dahlgren Road, Dahlgren, VA 22448-5100 as follows: CLIN 0001, 9 months after contract award.
