E-MAIL: Mary E. McKaig, Mary.E.McKaig.1@gsfc.nasa.gov. NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the design, fabrication, and testing of two (2) PCI compatible modules to provide the following features: a) Programmable bandpass filter to accept an IF input of 720 MHZ. The bandpass response characteristics will be capable of being programmed to accommodate data rates from 10m b/sec to 210m b/sec; b) Provide programming for an IF output carrier that is 1 to 3 times the data rate; c) Provide automatic compensation for doppler shift on the 720 MHZ IF carrier up to 250 KHZ; d) deliver the two (2) PCI boards with the above features with program review within 1 month. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Data-Control Systems in Gaithersburg, MD, as the only firm: a) providing programmable bandpass filter design, programmable IF output carrier output and automatic doppler compensation on the carrier; b) providing PCI compatible RF to IF down conversion function which can be directly plugged into a personal computer or workstation; c)specializing in telemetry products such as tunable FM demodulators and FM data analysis, PSK modulators and demodulators, PCM data processing systems, and bit synchronizers which are PC compatible; and d) offering electrical, electronic, civil, and mechanical engineering and design services such as functional defintion and analysis, concept formulation and trade-off studies, preliminary design review, prototype fabrication and testing, performance and/or detail specification development, and detailed analysis and final design. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Any referenced notes can be viewed at the following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nnotes.htm.
