This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The incorporated document and provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-27 and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement Change Notice 20011001.

The Government intends to award a contract on a "brand name mandatory" basis for GET Engineering NTDS Products under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Contract type will be firm-fixed-price. GET Engineering Corporation is the sole manufacturer of this equipment. The equipment is required to support the AN/TPX-42(V)14 FC2 project. The outlined GET Engineering NTDS Products are the only commercial-off-the-shelf items that have been identified meeting the government?s minimum requirement. The GET 10044101 VME/AB-C NTDS Parallel Channel Switch is a dual 72 pole double throw switching system which can be used to switch NTDS Parallel Channel connections. The VME/AB-C NTDS Parallel Channel Switch must switch all lines of a MIL-STD-1397 Type A/B/C interface, be hardened for shipboard use, use the VME 6U form factor, use a switch ground control, and use a 79-pin connector conforming to MIL-C-38999. The GET 10036022 Cable Transition Module set contains two modules. One module converts an 80-pin straight ribbon connector to a D38999/20WG35PA 79- pin UYK-44 output connector. The second module converts an 80-pin cable to a D38999/20WG35PN 79-pin UYK-44 input connector. The cable transition modules are needed to transition from the VME backplane to the MIL-C-38999 type connectors on the chassis back panel. The cable transition module interface to the VME backplane is vendor specific.
