- Description
- In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS), Section 3.2.2.4 the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the FAA's intent to order directly from a selected single source, Signatec, Inc. of Newport Beach, CA. The FAA's Aircraft Geometric Height Measurement Element Constellation (AGHME) is a unique system, which passively measures aircraft geometric height-transponded, Mode S signatures that reside within a digital data stream. Timing interrelationships are critical to the system function. Because of the dependencies between the components within the integrated design, Signatec is the only known manufacturer that meets the design requirements for the AGHME system. The following technical requirements must be met: The primary functionality required in the AGHME system is that the two-board set--digitizer and Digital Signal Processor (DSP) board: must work in a unified manor;while the digitizer is digitizing analog input at a 500 MHz rate it must simultaneously be streamed over a private data bus to the DSP board;the data has to be streamed and processed at a 500 MHz rate; the private bus between the two boards is critical, since the PCI bus will not tolerate this constant data rate and it would swamp the host PC & The DSP board must be able to perform a minimum of 72 billion instructions per second for present coding firmware resident on the board to analyze the 500 MHz digitized data stream from the digitizer. The only known source for both of these essential parts is Signatec, which has created custom firmware to their digitizer and DSP boards. Salient features must be comparable to their: Digitizer Boards - PDA1000-512M Parallel DSP Board - PMP1000-2 These components are also used as part of the system: A1-C - Data Throughput SupportPWS-0038 - Power SupportST3200820A - Storage Support All products must be acquired from the same source. A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. If you do not agree with this single source determination, please provide evidence of your firm's capability, experience in providing the above products and a detailed description of the products you can deliver for the FAA to evaluate. All responses to this announcement must be directed to Phyliss Schlegel, Contracting Officer, and received by 2 p.m., local time, August 19, 2009. Responses should be sent to: FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center; Acquisition & Grants Team (AJA-4730); Attn: Phyliss Schlegel; Atlantic City International Airport, NJ 08405.
