- 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. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is 100% set-aside for Small Business. The NAICS Code for this synopsis/solicitation is 3329995, Size Standard 500. Solicitation/ Purchase Request number F2KBAB2089A002 is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). This document incorporates provisions and clauses that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-58 effective 18 May 2012. Description: Waveguide The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center PKOA, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, requests for quotes to provide sets of waveguide to coax adapters and miscellaneous other waveguide components. Waveguide to coax adapters without flanges will be used as field probes. They will be used below their normal operating band (i.e. below cutoff) so that they are very insensitive as antennas. As a result it is very critical that the coax to waveguide joint be very well electromagnetically sealed. Conductive epoxy or other treatment may be needed. Each standard size of waveguide has a geometrical area defined by it aperture size. When used as an antenna it has an equivalent electrical area. When the aperture is sealed off with a shorting plate it is required that the electrical area be at less than 0.0001 times the geometrically area. As an example a WR-650 waveguide to coax adapter has a geometrical area of 6.5" by 3.25" or 21.125 sq inches (or 136 sq cm). Its electrical area should then be no larger than 0.0021 sq inches (or 0.0136 sq cm). This means that such a shorted waveguide, when exposed to a power density of 1 watt/sq cm, would produce an output signal of no more than 13.6 mWatts. The same would apply to the other adapters based on their dimensions. The Air Force will measure the equivalent electrical area and use this as an acceptance criteria. All adapters and components with flanges shall have cover type flanges. Components can be made of brass or aluminum, if aluminum a chromate finish shall be applied prior to painting. Painting should be according to company standard practice. Shorting plates should be grooved so as to accept a conductive gasket (supplied).
