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. The requested amplifier is a form, fit, and function replacement. Xicom takes the basic amp, adds the mounts for the SWE-Dish and modifies the connectors to standard military types and puts it in a unique box casing for the SWE-Dish. This amplifier frequency range, linear power rating, and spectral purity facilitates a faster request approval from the Secretary of the Air Force as this is a known weapon system, with a known footprint. Given the above information and supporting J&A the requested item is deemed BRAND NAME. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

As used in this clause Automatic identification device means a device, such as a reader or interrogator, used to retrieve data encoded on machine-readable media. Concatenated unique item identifier means (1) For items that are serialized within the enterprise identifier, the linking together of the unique identifier data elements in order of the issuing agency code, enterprise identifier, and unique serial number within the enterprise identifier; or (2) For items that are serialized within the original part, lot, or batch number, the linking together of the unique identifier data elements in order of the issuing agency code; enterprise identifier; original part, lot, or batch number; and serial number within the original part, lot, or batch number. Data qualifier means a specified character (or string of characters) that immediately precedes a data field that defines the general category or intended use of the data that follows. DoD recognized unique identification equivalent means a unique identification method that is in commercial use and has been recognized by DoD. All DoD recognized unique identification equivalents are listed at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/UID/equivalents.html. DoD unique item identification means a system of marking items delivered to DoD with unique item identifiers that have machine-readable data elements to distinguish an item from all other like and unlike items. For items that are serialized within the enterprise identifier, the unique item identifier shall include the data elements of the enterprise identifier and a unique serial number. For items that are serialized within the part, lot, or batch number within the enterprise identifier, the unique item identifier shall include the data elements of the enterprise identifier; the original part, lot, or batch number; and the serial number. Enterprise means the entity (e.g., a manufacturer or vendor) responsible for assigning unique item identifiers to items. Enterprise identifier means a code that is uniquely assigned to an enterprise by an issuing agency. Governments unit acquisition cost means (1) For fixed-price type line, subline, or exhibit line items, the unit price identified in the contract at the time of delivery; (2) For cost-type or undefinitized line, subline, or exhibit line items, the Contractors estimated fully burdened unit cost to the Government at the time of delivery; and (3) For items produced under a time-and-materials contract, the Contractors estimated fully burdened unit cost to the Government at the time of delivery. Issuing agency means an organization responsible for assigning a non-repeatable identifier to an enterprise (i.e., Dun & Bradstreets Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number, Uniform Code Council (UCC) /EAN International (EAN) Company Prefix, or Defense Logistics Information System (DLIS) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code). Issuing agency code means a code that designates the registration (or controlling) authority for the enterprise identifier. Item means a single hardware article or a single unit formed by a grouping of subassemblies, components, or constituent parts. Lot or batch number means an identifying number assigned by the enterprise to a designated group of items, usually referred to as either a lot or a batch, all of which were manufactured under identical conditions. Machine-readable means an automatic identification technology media, such as bar codes, contact memory buttons, radio frequency identification, or optical memory cards. Original part number means a combination of numbers or letters assigned by the enterprise at item creation to a class of items with the same form, fit, function, and interface. Parent item means the item assembly, intermediate component, or subassembly that has an embedded item with a unique item identifier or DoD recognized unique identification equivalent.

The enterprise is responsible for ensuring unique serialization within the enterprise identifier. Serialization within the part, lot, or batch number means each item of a particular part, lot, or batch number is assigned a unique serial number within that part, lot, or batch number assignment.
