- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Air Vehicle Modification and Instrumentation Group has a requirement for ruggedized computers that are being used for Flight Testing and are used to satisfy a multifaceted set of requirements that allow various components to be configured together to satisfy airborne test requirements. The ruggedized mobile computer test system (Panasonic Toughbook 29) Ruggedized Portable Computer. 2.5?high, 11.8? wide, 9.5? deep, with the following options: 60GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, Extra Lithium Ion Battery, Toughmate Universal Black case, DVD Multidrive, is being used to replace existing Panasonic Toughbooks currently in use on various U.S. Navy aircraft test programs. These systems are required to be the same form, fit and function as the existing computers so that they can directly replace computers currently in use on aircraft. These ruggedized, portable computers are used as a physical part of instrumentation systems that are installed onboard aircraft and taken into other harsh environments such as onboard aircraft carriers. Due to factors such as shock, vibration, and moisture in these environments, normal portable computer systems would be easily damaged and would not adequately perform the functions required. Switching to a different ruggedized mobile computer would be time and cost prohibitive because of the time and cost involved in retrofitting aircraft mechanical and electrical interfaces. This would add cost and cause major delays in flight test programs. The government intends to procure this equipment from Toughbook Sales.com, 11660 Alpharetta Hwy #355, Roswell GA, 30076. All capabilities statements received by 2:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, 31 Aug 2006, will be considered by the Government solely for the purpose of determining whether to initiate a competitive procurement. Technical capability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted in response to this provision. Therefore, it is incumbent on the interested party to provide sufficient technical literature, documentation, etc., in order for the Government to make an adequate technical assessment of capabilities of the alternate equipment. The government reserves the right to process the procurement on a sole source basis based upon the responses received. The Government will not pay for any information received. For information regarding this procurement contact Betty Goddard, elizabeth.goddard@navy.mil, (301) 757-9719.
