E-MAIL: Grace Watson, grace.watson@edwards.af.mil. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is F04700-00-T-0046. The solicitation is a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-18. The standard industrial classification code is 3572. Place of delivery and acceptance is at Edwards AFB, CA, with an FOB destination. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), 413th Flight Test Squadron (413th FLTS), Edwards AFB has a requirement for a special equipment to measure RF electric (E) fields and signal power densities to support DARPA/Boeing Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAF) and to provide RF safety survey equipment and training materials in support of high-energy 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. The following provisions and clauses apply: 52.252-2 -- Clauses Incorporated by Reference. This contract incorporates one or more clauses by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the contracting officer will make their full text available.
