- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared inaccordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additionalinformation included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the onlysolicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for: ITEM 1, Qty. 2,KA-Band 100 Watt Power Amplifiers; and ITEM 2, Qty. 1, Documentation.ITEM 1 shall meet the salient characteristics listed below::This procurement is for an outdoor (roof) mounted Ka-band amplifier.1. Frequency Range: 25.25 GHz to 27.50 GHz. (TDRSS KaSA "Return" band).2. Power Output (Rated): 100W minimum (at P1dB gain compression). This specificationshall be met without using a linearizer. (We will operate over a variety of output powerlevels).3. Input Power Level: -20 dBm to +5 dBm.4. Duty Cycle: 100% duty cycle.5. Gain Adjustment: +30 dB to +70 dB adjustable in 1 dB or smaller steps.6. Gain Variation: < 2.0 dB (peak min) over any 650 MHz bandwidth. (The maximumsignal bandwidth is 650 MHz.)7. Gain Variation: 0.04 dB/MHz max.8. Gain Stability: 0.25 dB over 24-hours.9. Intermodulation: -18 dBc max (for two equal input signals at 100W total outputpower).10. Receive Band Noise: -150 dBW/4 KHz max over 22.55 GHz to 23.55 GHz (TDRSS KaSA"Forward" band).11. Operating Temperature Range: -50 C to +70 C.12. Non Operating Temperature Range: -40 C to +50 C.13. Humidity: Up to 100% Condensing.14. Altitude: < 10,000 feet MSL.15. Power: Shall operate at any input voltage between 100 to 260 VAC and frequencybetween 47 to 63 Hz.16. Remote Monitoring / Control: The unit shall be capable of remote monitoring andcontrol. This includes the following minimum functions: a) remote turn on / warm up, b) turn off / cool down, c) monitoring of output power, d) gain control, e) monitoring ofcase temp and key operating voltages. 17. Remote Monitoring / Control Interface: The preferred monitor and control interface isEthernet using the IP protocol. Common serial protocols such as RS-232, RS-485, areacceptable. The use of other protocols is unacceptable. The power amplifier shall includethe necessary Remote Control Unit and/or PC based software to remotely control the poweramplifier.18. Transportability: The power amplifier shall be suitable for transportable use. Thepower amplifier may be moved from location to location up to five (5) times/year.Transport shall use standard commercial shipping services (UPS/FedEx, etc.).19. Shock and Vibration: Suitable for standard commercial shipping services.20. High Reliability: The risk of in-the-field failure of the power amplifier must bemitigated with a high MTBF, and permit easy in-the-field replacement.ITEM 2: DOCUMENTATIONOne set of comprehensive manuals, including schematics, which may include but is notlimited to user, system, troubleshooting, and maintenance.The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-36.This procurement is a total small business set-aside.
