- Description
- Solicitation is issued as a request for a Firm Fixed Price quote for a purchase of GORE PHASEFLEX Microwave/RF Test Assemblies/Cables manufactured by W.L. GORE & ASSOCIATES, INC, 380 Starr Road, Landenberg, PA 19350. U.S. Army Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal, intends to issue a sole source purchase order contract to the original equipment manufacturer, W.L. GORE & ASSOCIATES, INC. The statutory authority allowing for solicitation to a single source for this requirement is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (g)(1)(A), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1) titled - Soliciting from a single source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement. The Government intends to use the policies and procedures of FAR Part 12 in conjunction with those at FAR Part 13 for this effort. Program Management Office Aircraft Survivability Equipment (PMO ASE) requires strong reliable test cables to populate in house custom developed test kits to support current Radar Warning Receivers (RWR) and development of the next generation RWR. These cables must be ruggedized for filed use and extremely low loss. Cables must take multiple uses and crimp resistant. Connector types are specified for each cable, as multiple cables will need to be tested and adapted to measure. Kits will be used to qualify and test prototype RWR designs and must be built to the highest standards. Cable specifications: - Velocity of Propagation factor of 85% or higher - Operate to 18 GHz. With low insertion loss - Cush proofing with wire wrap Desired cable is made to be environmental seal and layered with a wire wrap to give it additional crush strength. The internally ruggedized construction of GORE-PHASEFLEX Microwave Assemblies withstands concentrated loads well in excess of those specified by MIL-T-81490; reducing the likelihood of inadvertent crush damage during installation and throughout service life. The flexibility of the cable, coupled with an inherent resistance to over-bending, provides a cable assembly that is easier to install within the confines of an aircraft. Vapor and liquid barriers prevent any ingress of oils, fuels, coolants or cleaning fluids, ensuring continued electrical performance even in the harshest of environments. Feature includes SMA, TNCA and N-type connectors to MIL-C-39012 and MIL-T-81490. Required quantities and part numbers: Five (5) of Part Number OTD 01 D010 720.
