This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 or supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and written solicitation will NOT be issued. The solicitation number is N65236-00-R-1018. the solicitation is being issued as a Request for Proposals (RPF).!! This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through FAC 97-15.!! Subject procurement will be 100% set aside for small business. The associated SIC code is 3663. There are three contract line items: Item 0001 Solid State Broadband Linear RF Power Amplifier. Quantity is 62 each. All specifications are required over the frequency range of 1350 to 1850 MHz. Amplifier shall be mountable in a standard 19-inch rack and shall not exceed 6 inches in height and 25 inches in depth. Weight shall not exceed 50 pounds. To be suitable for shipboard sheltered environment. Shall be able to withstand the shock and vibration of a rack-mounted, shipboard installation. Shall have it's own air cooling system that allows the unit to operated within ambient temperature extremes from 0 to 50 degrees Celsius. Shall withstand storage temperatures from -40 to +70 degrees Celsius. Cooling fan shall continue to operate for a minimum of three minutes after shutdown occurs for any reason other than total power removal. Operates on 115Vrms, 60 Hz, 2 wire ungrounded, single phase, alternating current (AC) power. Will operate with an input drive level ranging from 4 to 10 Watts. The nominal terminating impedances (external source and load) shall be 50 Ohms, resistive. Must operate without permanent damage with any source and load impedance. Small-signal gain shall not exceed 18dB. Minimum power output at the 1 dB compression point shall equal or exceed 50 dBm. Maximum power out shall not exceed 54 dBm. Small signal gain flatness shall be within the maximum range of +/-1.0 dB over the specified frequency range. Input and output VSWR shall not exceed 2:1 when amplifier is operating at or below the 1 dB compression point. Amplifier input port shall present DC resistance to ground not exceeding 10k Ohms. Total harmonic output shall not exceed -40dBc when operating at the 1 dB compression point into a 50 Ohm load. Noise figure, measured at maximum gain with a calibrated excess noise source, shall not exceed 15dB. Excluding harmonics of the input signal, there shall be no discrete spurious outputs exceeding -60dBc when amplifier is operating at the 1dB compression point into a 50 Ohm load. Amplifier shall have front-panel mounted forward/reflected power metering. Forward power reading shall have a metering accuracy of 1dB. Digital displays shall have back-lighting and shall be viewable at any angle. Amplifier shall have internal safety interlock that is defeatable for any removable covers. RF input/output (N-type female) and AC power circular connectors (military type) shall be mounted in the rear of the amplifier.Shall have capability for remote disabling of the power output with standard TTL Logic Low Level (0 Volts). A circular connector (military type) for remote disable shall be mounted in rear of amplifier. Output power shall be adjustable continuously or in 1 dB steps to be equal to or greater than 10dB by a front panel control. Shall include an isolator which will operate with any load impedance including an open or short circuit at full power. Shall have a separate output monitor port that will parallel the output of the amplifier for troubleshooting. Output monitor port shall be made with a calibrated directional coupler to allow accurate measurements of the output power. Amplifier shall use modular construction and be modular repairable for ease of maintenance. All metal parts shall be painted or otherwise protected against salt air corrosion. Front panel color shall be 26307 as delineated in FED-STD-595. Shall include one power cord with each amplifier for plugging the amplifier into a standard 115VAC outlet. Include all mating connectors for all external connections to amplifier unit. Item 0002 Documentation: To include one manual with each amplifier that includes installation instructions, detailed operating procedures, illustrated parts breakdown, block diagrams, theory of operations and troubleshooting procedures. Item 0003 Test Reports: A test report shall be delivered with each amplifier unit, describing the test procedures used to insure compliance with specifications and stating the test results for each amplifier. A minimum two year warranty is required. The manufacturer will repair and return to government at no charge any power amplifier that fails during normal operations within two years of delivery. Cost of shipping to the manufacturer will be borne by the goverment. Contractor will teach one two day operations and maintenance course at no additional cost with instructor guide, trainee guides, and technical manuals which will be left with the government at the completion of training. Training will be provided within 180 days of contract award at St. Juliens Creek Annex, Portsmouth, Va 23702. Maximum number of students will be ten. Government will be given rights to reproduce and distribute the technical manual, instructor guide and trainee guide. Inspection and acceptance will be at SPAWAR Systems Center, St Juliens Creek Annex, Portsmouth, Va 23702. Delivery of eight units per month is required beginning 90 days after receipt of contract. Delivery will be FOB destination to Officer in Charge, Attn: Code 536 R Martinsen/Cheryl Honaker, SPAWAR System Center, St Juliens Creek, Bldg 59, Magazine Road, Portsmouth, VA 23702. Award will be based on price, ability to meet contract requirements, and delivery schedule. Solicitation provisions at FAR 52.211-11, Liquidated Damages are hereby incorporated.
