E-MAIL: Grace Watson, grace.watson@edwards.af.mil. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), 413th Flight Test Squadron (413 FLTS), Edwards AFB is seeking sources to provide RF safety survey equipment and training materials in support of high-energy RF (HIRF) testing. The RF safety measurement equipment will be used to measure RF electric (E) fields and power densities (S) under two conditions: (1) use of one portable RF survey system to measure power density and E fields in shielded Deployable Electronic Combat Measurement System (DECMS) vans and AN/MST-TIA Multiple Threat Emitter System (MUTES) control cabins during test operations under high-energy RF (HIRF) conditions, and (2) use of one RF survey system to measure the power density and E fields as close to the test aircraft as the measurement equipment will permit. It is presumed that HIRF information from the test aircraft RF probe would be relayed back to a rack-mounted meter that would be installed in one of the DECMS signal vans. Distance from the probe to the signal van/meter would be at least 100 feet. Accessories, i.e., RF cables, RF attenuators, training videos, etc. are included in this acquisition. The following are some specific requirements: RF safety survey equipment must have the capability to measure at greater distances to construct a data curve which can be extrapolated to determine the approximate RF levels at the test aircraft in accordance with established formulas for near field and far field RF attenuation. The primary equipment in the RF survey system consists of two sets of interchangeable RF probes, cables, and meters, capable of measuring far field average power density (S) and electric field (E). Near field E and S measurement capability is not required, but highly desired; at least one of the power density probes should be capable of measurements up to at least 1000 mW/cm2. Calibration data/procedures for all meters and probes must be provided. Responses to this sources sought will be used for market research purposes and to determine whether the acquisition will be reserved for an 8(a) competition, conducted as a small business set-aside, or conducted using full and open competition procedures. Companies interested in this acquisition must provide current capability and past performance information demonstrating management and technical experience on similar acquisitions and resources necessary to successfully compete for this award. In order to be considered in this market survey, responses are required by 1 June 2000. POC: Grace Watson @ (661) 277-7453, fax: (661) 277-2114. Posted 05/17/00 (D-SN455736). (0138)
