This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The offeror shall provide two(2)data recorder systems with documentation in accordance with the following specifications: Specifications for RF0 3-184232,DATA RECORDER SYSTEM, TEAC MODELS GX-1, GX-AIT, AU-GXEPIO AND AR-GXPA, OR EQUAL are as follows: The over all system shall consist of two (2) data recorders each capable of recording up to 32 channels of analog DC and/or AC voltage inputs. Each recorder must be capable of being expanded up to 64 channels. Each recorder must have an AIT drive that can store up to 25 GB of recorded data. The recorders must be able to interface to a PC. The recorded data must be in a convenient PC file format for data processing with a PC. The recorders shall come with PC software to provide real-time monitoring and display of data that is being recorded. The data shall be displayed as a waveform, a bar graph, or FFT. The end user must also be able to playback and view recorded data from the AIT drive on the PC. The software shall also provide the capability to configure the signal conditioner parameters for all channels and to control the recording behavior. The recorders must provide the capability to record data directly to a PC connected to the main unit via a SCSI interface. The data file for the recorded data shall consist of a binary data file and an ASCII header file. Item 1: Data recorder main unit that can provide up to 16 channels and be capable of attaching to up 3 expansion units. The main unit will have the following: 8 signal conditioner slots capable of accepting signal conditioner cards for charge input, microphone input, F/V input , thermocouple input, dynamic strain input, pulse input, digital input and output, dc voltage input, ac voltage input, and dc voltage output 1 AIT tape drive slot 256 MB of DRAM memory 1 SCSI connector for PC interface 1 expansion bus connector to interface with an expansion unit 1 monitor channel analog output that can be configured to provide the analog output of any input channel 1 microphone jack 1 speaker jack 1 IRIG B time code input the unit shall be capable of being powered by AC voltage between 90 and 130 VAC and frequency between 50 and 400 Hz. Item 2: AIT Tape Drive: The tape drive shall be installed in the main unit (item 1) AIT tape drive slot. The AIT tape shall store up to 25 GB of recorded data. Item 3: Expansion unit shall have 8 slots providing up to 16 channels of signal conditioning. The unit shall be compatible with the main unit (item 1) and shall come with a cable. Item 4: The amplifier (signal conditioner) unit shall be compatible with the main unit (item 1). The unit shall provide the following: 2 channels of dc/ac voltage input. Input range -- +/-0.5 to 20 Vp dc voltage or +/- 0.1 to 20 Vp ac voltage Frequency response -- up to 80 kHz Low pass filter -- -48dB/octave A/D converter- 16 bit digital filter The supplier shall include operator manuals for each recorder. The installation will be done by the government. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 97-25. This procurement is set aside for small business. See Note 1.
