58 -- XBAND FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER FOR TAIL METEOROLOGICAL RADAR ON P3-ORION AIRCRAFT SOL NAAN6000001153SKS DUE 030900 POC Sharon K. Scrutchfield 816-426-7267 x 231 The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), MacDill AFB, Florida, intends to acquire a digitally tuned Stable Local Oscillator (Stalo) with dual-Radio Frequency (RF) outputs. One output from the Stalo will be mixed with the RF burst sample from a coaxial magnetron for Automatic Frequency Control (AFC). The second output will be mixed with the RF received signal to produce the Intermediate Frequency (IF). The digital tuning signals to the Stalo will come from the Sigmet RVP-7 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) via the DB 25-pin connector. The power and status signals will route through the same connector. This unit will upgrade the Tail X-band Meteorological Radar receiver system on board the P-3 Orion aircraft. This acquisition is for one unit to be delivered to AOC no later than 60 days after receipt of the order. This acquisition includes an option to purchase six more units within six months after receipt of the first unit. The electrical and physical specifications for the unit will be included in the Request for Quotation (RFQ). The RFQ will be issued on or about February 23, 2000. This acquisition is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. Standard Industrial Classification Code 3829 applies. This acquisition is being conducted as a simplified acquisition under the authority of FAR Part 13. Requests for RFQ may be faxed to (816) 426-7530. All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered by the Agency. Posted 02/08/00 (W-SN423286). (0039)
