- Description
- Request for Information (RFI) C-BAND AIRCRAFT ANTENNAS Schedule: Closing Date: 28 August 2008 Scope: The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) is seeking information from the public on C-Band Aircraft Antennas that cover the C-Low (4400-4940 MHz) and C-Mid (5091-5150 MHz) frequency bands in a single unit. Information is also sought for Broadband Aircraft Antennas that are capable of covering 1435 MHz through 5150 MHz in a single unit (L, S and C Band). Both antenna types must have a single RF connection for the transmitter interface. These antennas will be installed on high performance military jet aircraft and thus must be designed and tested to withstand the environmental extremes associated with supersonic flight. Both antenna types must be linearly polarized, efficient and omni-directional. The AFFTC is seeking potential vendors that have experience building C-Band Aircraft Antennas of the two types mentioned above. Those firms interested in the above requirements are requested to provide the following: 1. Detailed technical description of your C-Band Aircraft Antenna products to include specifications and antenna patterns 2. Evidence that the item meets environmental conditions 3. Availability and delivery timeframe 4. Per-unit cost 5. Past performance history in providing these units 6. Business size (i.e. small, large, disadvantaged) 7. Subcontracting issues 8. Commercial or Non-Commercial RFI Purpose and Limitations: The Government's intention is to better understand the current state-of-the-art and to determine the best acquisition approach. Industry feedback is vitally important and the Government will be receptive to any and all ideas received from industry. This RFI is an expression of the Government's interest only and does not obligate the Government to pay for the requested information nor respond to any submissions. Proprietary information is not being solicited; however, if it is submitted, it should be appropriately marked. It may include attachments that consist of pre-printed commercial brochures or sales literature. Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged. All information provided will be protected as Procurement Sensitive per Federal Acquisition Regulation 3.104. Electronic responses shall be in MS Word or Adobe PDF format. Information must be received no later than 4:00PM Pacific Time on 28 August 2008. For technical questions regarding this notice, contact Bob Selbrede at (661) 277-1179 or robert.selbrede.ctr@edwards.af.mil. For contracting questions, contact Vanessa Shannon at (661) 277-0760 or vanessa.shannon@edwards.af.mil.
