- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. �This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334220 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The Government requires the purchase of one High Bandwidth, Multi-Channel RF Transceiver, and intends to negotiate a sole-source award for this requirement with Epiq Solutions, 3740 Industrial Ave Rolling Meadows, IL 60008, for their Sidekiq X4 PCle Blade product.� The applicable part number is ES024-110-02, and a description is as follows: Sidekiq X4 PCIe Blade includes the following: - One Sidekiq X4 card supporting VITA 57.1 (FMC) with SMP connectors (ES024-104-02) - One PCIe FPGA carrier card with FMC slot (for Sidekiq X4) and PCIe interface (convection cooled), configured with Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale XCKU115-2 FPGA, 2.5 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz RAM, PCIe Gen3 x4 interface, Configuration flash, USB UART, JTAG header interface - One year hardware warranty. The Government has determined that other companies� products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet the Government�s needs.� The required Epiq Sidekiq X4 is part of a standardized hardware configuration for collaboration amongst organizations developing technologies for a common platform.� Using a different branded transceiver card will result in incompatibility with the standardized hardware development kit, rendering the Government system useless.� Epiq Solutions is the sole manufacturer and distributor of their Sidekiq X4 PCle Blade product. This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive quotes; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or quote, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be emailed to Tiffany Slopka, tiffany.slopka@us.af.mil. Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 15 June 2023. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award in accordance with applicable regulation.
