Description

This is published as a sole source announcement under the statutory authority at 10 USC 2304(c) (1), and regulatory authority at FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Division E, Tobyhanna Branch, Tobyhanna Army Depot(TYAD), Tobyhanna, PA 18466 intends to solicit and award a firm-fixed priced contract for Brand Name only EMCORE OPTIVA Fiber Optic equipment manufactured by EMCORE, 2015 Chestnut Street, Alhambra, CA 91803. EMCORE is the sole designer and developer of the OPTIVA Fiber Optic equipment. The Brand Name EMCORE OPTIVA Fiber Optic equipment is required to enable TYAD to upgrade and modify the AN/Tactical Satellite Communications(TSC)-86F(V)2 Satellite Communications Terminal and in order to facilitate the proper integration with EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optic equipment already utilized in the field by Air Force Wideband Enterprise Terminals (AFWET). The following is the list of brand name EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optic equipment configurations and quantities required. Equipment shall be new. Used or refurbished equipment will not be considered. Delivery is required within 10 weeks from date of award, FOB Destination. P/N OPT-1ETR-A2/A2-LC:4MNP5 ETHERNET TRANSCEIVER QTY 3 EA. P/N OTS-1LR/S5-SA-IC:4MNP5 FIBER OPTIC RECEIVER QTY 40 EA.

P/N OTS-2T/3.5-0710-00-10-SA-12-15-1:4MNP5 FIBER OPTIC TRANSMITTER QTY 4 EA. P/N OTS-RFS-2-S5:4MNP5 RF SPLITTER QTY 3 EA P/N OTS-RSU-2-S5-SS:4MNP5 REDUNDANCY SWITH UNIT QTY 3 EA P/N OPV-CTLR-IC NMS SNMP CONTROLLER QTY 5 EA. P/N PS-200-NA POWER SUPPLY QTY 16 EA. P/N OT-CC-16F-002 CHASSIS, OPTIVA 3RU, 16 SLOT QTY 9 EA. P/N OT-OPF-1 BLANK PANEL, 1 SLOT QTY 32 EA. The EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optic equipment has undergone a certification and approval process for use in the AN/TSC-86F (V) 2 Satellite Communications terminal through Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), as well as PMWESS, DISA, and ARSTRAT who must also approve the use of the fiber optic equipment. Based on the previous costs and time incurred to obtain the approvals and certification of the EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optic equipment, it is estimated that approval and certification of fiber optic equipment from any other manufacturer would cause an unacceptable delay of 6-8 months and cost the Government an amount exceeding the estimated cost of this acquisition. It is critical that commonality of fiber optic equipment be maintained between TYAD designed Satellite Communications Terminals such as the AN/TSC-86F(V)2 and fiber optic equipment currently utilized by AFWET to ensure consistency and the ability to properly integrate communications equipment located in both the terminal and Electronic Enclosure Building (EEB). TYAD Technical experts have determined if any equipment, other than EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optic equipment were to be utilized, integration with the Air Force Wideband Enterprise Terminal System (AFWET) fiber optic equipment would be costly and require a lengthy approval and certification process. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals for other than the Brand Name EMCORE OPTIVA Fiber Optic Equipment. Any responsible firms believing they can provide a product that is certified and approved for integration in the AN/TSC-86F(V)2 should within fifteen (15) days of this notice, contact in writing the Contract Specialist identified below, and submit a capability statement describing the product's capability to meet the Government's requirements, which will be reviewed for consideration. Used, refurbished, gray or aftermarket items will not be considered. The NAICS Code is 334220 and the size standard is 750 employees. Point of contact is, Contract Specialist, Phone 570-615-9720, e-mail: John.E.Thomas.civ@mail.mil
