- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS (Not a Notice of Solicitation) The United States Air Force, LCMC/Operational Contracting Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio is seeking potential sources that are capable of providing two pairs of 50 Ohm, ruggedized, flexible, high-frequency microwave/RF coaxial cable assemblies. The connectors must meet or exceed either the IEEE 287 standard, the Precision connector standard, or be metrology grade. Firms responding should specify that their product meets the specifications provided below and provide detailed product information to show clear technical compliance. Additionally, sales history including recent commercial companies sold to should be included to determine commerciality. Specific requirements include: For the first pair: 1.85 mm socket (female) to 1.85 mm pin (male) coaxial cable assemblies: The 1.85 mm male to female coaxial cable assemblies must connect to the 1.85 mm male test ports on an Agilent N5227A network analyzer, and to the 1.85 mm female connector on a coaxial to waveguide adapter that is identical to Agilent's U281A. Max Frequency (GHz): 67 Impedance (Ohms): 50 Center Conductor : Solid Dielectric Constant (nominal): 1.4 Velocity of Propagation: 0.85 Temperature Range (°C): -55 to 40 Nominal Outer Diameter in. (mm): 0.230 (5.8) +/- 5% is acceptable Minimum Bend Radius (multiple bends) in. (mm): 1 (25.4) Crush Resistance lb/linear in.: 250 Typical Insertion Loss dB at 67GHz : -4.0151 Guaranteed Insertion Loss dB at 67GHz : -4.7575 Guaranteed VSWR at 67GHz: 1.50:1 Guaranteed Return Loss dB: -13.98 Phase Stability +/- ° : 15.61 Amplitude Stability +/- dB: 0.10 For the second pair: 1.00 mm (female) socket to 1.00 mm (male) socket coaxial cable assemblies: The 1.00 mm female to female cable assemblies must connect to a 1.00 mm male connector on the Agilent N5250CX10 combiner module on one end. The other end must connect to the male connector on a coaxial to waveguide adapter that is identical to both Agilent's W281D and Agilent's V281D. Max Frequency (GHz): 110 Impedance (Ohms): 50 Center Conductor: Solid Dielectric Constant (nominal): 1.4 Velocity of Propagation: 0.85 Temperature Range (°C): -55 to 125 Nominal Outer Diameter in. (mm): 0.167 (4.2) +/- 5% is acceptable Minimum Bend Radius (multiple bends) in. (mm): 0.5 (12.7) Crush Resistance (lb/linear in.): 250 Typical Insertion Loss dB at 110GHz : -1.3357 Guaranteed Insertion Loss dB at 110GHz: -1.7374 Guaranteed VSWR at 110GHz: 1.50:1 Guaranteed Return Loss dB : -14.00 All interested firms shall submit a response demonstrating their capabilities to produce the requested equipment to the Primary Point of Contact listed below. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. The decision to solicit for a contract shall be solely within the Government's discretion. Firms responding should indicate whether they are, or are not, a small business, a socially and economically disadvantaged business, or a woman owned business. The general definition of a small business is one that is independently owned and operated, is not dominant in the field of operation in which it is proposing on Air Force contracts and with its affiliates; and the number of employees does not exceed 500. NAICS Code to be used for this acquisition is 334516. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based upon responses hereto for any subsequent acquisition. Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/Foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this effort. Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is voluntary. This sources sought notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government reimburse any costs associated with the submission of information in response to this notice. Respondents will not individually be notified of the results of any government assessments. The Government's evaluation of the capability statements received will factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business designation (e.g. SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), SDB, WOSB, VOSB, etc.). Capabilities package: All interested firms shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates company capabilities-indicating examples of commercial sales-and product specifications related to this effort. Responses may be submitted electronically to the following e-mail address: timothy.wilhelm@wpafb.af.mil in a Microsoft word compatible format to be received no later than 10:00 AM, Eastern Standard Time, 7 September 2012. Direct all questions concerning this acquisition to 1st Lt Timothy Wilhelm at timothy.wilhelm@wpafb.af.mil.
