The Navy intends to procure on a sole source basis from Bluesky Mast, Inc. 1202 W North B St., Tampa, FL 33606, 10 (ten) 15 (fifteen) Meter Antenna Masts Part Number BSM2-M-M215-JBS-000, to support currently deployed sloping V long wire antennas. The antenna masts must be capable of supporting the following antennas: CSA Longshot (A 500-foot long wire antenna. It is important to note that the 500-foot long wire antenna requires a mast capable of sustaining 90 pounds pull at the top of the mast in a single direction. This is the approximate force required to properly deploy the long wire antenna.); AS3166 (VHF-FM low bands); DC80 (VHF & UHF frequency bands); AT197 A/GR (UHF & AM bands); and SC303B (SATCOM). The mast system must include any adapters needed to affix the identified antennas to the mast system. The masts must be strong enough to support the 500-foot long sloping V antennas, yet flexible enough to bend without breaking; even in the event of extreme conditions, thus preventing a catastrophic failure. The mast systems must be lightweight enough to be one man portable and must be deployable by a trained individual within 15-20 minutes, depending on wind conditions. Due to the variety of environments in which the masts will be deployed, the mast systems must be comprised of corrosion free materials and sealed components where possible to prevent the detrimental effects of sand and dirt. The mast solution must be capable of supporting fifty pounds up to a height of fifteen meters. The mast systems must allow the operators to change antennas during a mission in 5 minutes, excluding antenna assembly time. This could be accomplished via a winching system with a carriage assembly. The carriage assembly must be capable of elevating the antennas and hold them in place without listing beyond functional deployment. The accessory arms on the carriage assembly must be capable of optional lengths from 24 inches to 48 inches. There must also be an option to use the accessory arms at different angles to provide proper separation of large antennas. The mast systems must accommodate deploying at least two antennas simultaneously. The mast systems must be capable of operational wind speeds of seventy miles per hour. The mast systems must also be able to be loaded onto a 436L pallet without the need for special accommodations, such as special racks. Additional accessories required for the mast include; Aluminum/Stainless Steel/Delrin Tripod, Winch, Cable for Winch, mast adapters and Guys Spectra? 1000 by Honeywell. No telephone responses will be accepted. 18. The required delivery date for these masts, based on an award by 19 Jul 2006, is 3 Aug 2006 to NAWCAD, Webster Field, St. Inigoes, MD 20684. *****
