Description

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS) seeks a qualified vendor to supply (1) the installation hardware, cables, power diode assembly, antenna set, and FM transmitter for the Patriot Missile single telemetry kit; and (2) the installation hardware and cables, Telemetry Electronics Module (TEM), antenna set, diplexer, and two FM transmitters for the Patriot Missile alternate dual telemetry kit (herein referred to as single kits or dual kits, respectively). Kit is defined as all components making up the telemetry unit. At the component level, the kit requires transmitters (single- and dual-frequency), diplexers, antennas, and hardware mounting kits (single- and dual-frequency). Some components may be subject to military standard or military specification requirements. The components have multiple FSC codes but for the purposes of this requirement they will be coded under 59, because the majority of the components have this FSC. NAWCWPNS intends to maximize small business participation in meeting its core requirements. The primary focus of this notice is to identify interested sources for information and planning purposes only. This announcement is open until 2:00 PM Pacific Time, 30 July 2001. The NAICs Code is 334220 with a Size Standard of 750 employees. The government reserves the right to make this requirement a small business set-aside. If a contract is awarded for this effort, the government anticipates a firm-fixed price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity, delivery order type contract with a 5-year period of performance. Quantities for the single kit will be a minimum of 30 kits with 2 first article kits and a maximum of 302 kits (including first article). Quantities for the dual kit will be a minimum of 30 kits with 2 first article kits and a maximum of 302 kits (including first article). However, contract type, duration, and quantity could change. Previous contracts for the above mentioned components are Contract N68936-97-D-0186 with Haigh-Farr for Antennas; Contract N68936-99-D-0010 with Aydin Telemetry for Single-Frequency Transmitters; Contract N68936-99-D-0165 with Aydin Telemetry for Dual-Frequency Transmitters, Contract N68936-00-D-0014 with Delta Microwave for Diplexers, Contract N68936-00-D-0044 with Avisys for Single-Frequency Transmitter Mounting Hardware Kits, and Contract N68936-00-D-0045 with Avisys for Dual-Frequency Transmitter Mounting Hardware Kits.
