The Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) at the National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA) requires seven (7) mobile direction finding (DF) systems to be installed in spectrum measurement vans as part of an interagency agreement between the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Three Simrad DF systems are already in use as part of this project. The following are hardware and FAA specified requirements: 1. All DF systems purchased and installed in the vans must be identical for reasons of compatibility/repair/replacement. 2. The system must be modular for convenient installation in various sections of the vans. 3. The system must have a frequency range of 25 -- 1000 MHz. 4. The DF systems must include the following fully integrated components: processor, 360 display, RS-232 data output/interface unit, EF-353 mobile flat antenna frequency 25 -- 500 MHz and all necessary cables to connect system. Delivery of the DF systems is required within 120 days ARO to allow time for installation, testing and sponsor deadlines. Other DF sources are invited to submit product information to be considered for future DF requirements. It is the intent of the Government to award a sole source contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) to Simrad Inc., 19210 33rd Ave. West, Lynnwood, VA 98036 as this source is considered to be the only responsible source and no other equipment will satisfy agency requirements. This procurement action is being handled under Simplified Acquisition procedures. No RFQ package is available. (0037)
