Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 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 is a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-05 and DFARs Change Notice (DCN) 20050901. This acquisition is a full and open competition. NAICS is 334220 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Solicitation is for commercial purchase of: 14 each Airborne Telmetry Bit Synchronizers . Description: The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) at Edwards AFB, 419th FLTS, 412 TW/Instrumentation Division, has a requirement for 14 each airborne bit synchronizers. In addition, it requires a non-recurring engineering effort to modify existing hardware to provide a second set of RS-422 outputs from bit sync (Data & Clock). The ABS400 is a programmable airborne telemetry bit synchronizer in a rugged design specifically tailored for command and control applications. With this supplementary module, two RS-422 (differential) data and clock outputs are available from the unit. Bit synchronizer lock is accomplished and maintained with up to eight errors in the sync code. Loss of receiver input signal clamps the bit sync operating data rate to the pre-programmed data rate. Programming is accomplished via an integral RS-232 port. The basic system consists of a bit synchronizer, frame synchronizer, programming circuitry and power supply. The system is also expandable to include analog and/or digital output ports. The frame synchronizer examines the reconstructed digital data stream from the bit synchronizer on a bit-by-bit basis for the “best fit” pattern and outputs a sync pulse when correlation is achieved. Lock is accomplished and maintained with up to eight errors in the sync code. An RS-232 port on the frame synchronizer board allows many parameters, such as bits-per-word, words-per-frame, sync pattern, etc., to be programmed. Reprogramming can be accomplished in the field with a minimum of equipment. The unit can be configured with multiple bit synchronizers for applications requiring independent synchronization to multiple inputs. The ABS400 model consists of a Bit Synchronizer and optional Decommutator module with an open architecture that allows other module with an open architecture that allows other module types to be incorporated into the system. The design allows for a configuration of up to 16 modules attached to the first bit synchronizer. Although standard building blocks are used in figuring the ABS400, each unit is custom tailored to each customer’s specific application. Because of its modular construction, the unit is reconfigurable to contain 1 to 16 module in addition to the bit synchronizer. Modules are stacked onto the bit synchronizer modules in virtually any order, and are bolted together with provided hardware. The unit is then programmed for the appropriate system configuration. A variety of mounting configurations are available, and custom mounting can also be provided. Place of delivery, performance, and acceptance is FOB Destination, Edwards AFB, CA 93524. The following provisions and clauses apply: NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (13-SEP-2005); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
