Description
This market survey is to locate sources that are capable to design, develop, and manufacture the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Medium Gain Antennas, NSN: 5985-01-149-2576 and the Antenna Extensions, NSN: 5895-01-388-442 8, which are used with the Medium Gain Antenna. The Medium Gain Antenna is a foldable, circularly polarized, UHF Satellite Communication (SATCOM) antenna designed for portability and easy of use. This antenna shall be withstanding wind loading in excess o f 80 miles per hour. This Antenna shall be set up and deployed in less than 3 minutes by one person using arctic gloves. This antenna system shall have the capability of operating with the AN/PSC-5, AN/PSC-3, AN/PSC-7 (MST-20 Plus), AN/PSC-10 (LST-5A/B) an d AN/PRC-117 or equivalent ground, shelter or manpack Satellite communication systems. This Yagi antenna shall be designed and built in accordance with the Government product specifications and shall be deployable 2000 times or operated at fixed locations for extended period of time by military troops in all possible military environments. The use of Antenna Extensions shall enable the Medium Gain Antennas to increase the gain of the antennas from 7 dBic to up to 11 dBic as required. The current source fo r these items is Trivec-Avant Corporation, CAGE 60188. Detailed technical drawings for the manufacture of these units are not available from the Army. The only technical data available, which will be a part of the solicitation, are the product specificati ons. Potential sources of supply must be able to meet or exceed the following Government requirements:
1. Technical Requirements
" Medium Gain Antenna (NSN 5985-01-149-2576)
On Axis Gain (240-400 MHz), Nominal 7.0 dBic
Operating Frequenc y 240 to 400 MHz
Polarization right hand circular
Impedance 50 Ohm
VSWR 1: 1.5 max
Axial Ratio 3dB Max at half power point
Operating Temperature -25 to 125 degrees F
Storage Temperature -70 to 160 degrees F
Po wer Handling 200 Watts CW
RF Cables 2 each, 12.5 ft long
Antenna Connector male, BNC type
Cable Connectors male and female BNC
Tripod with AZ and EL axis AZ rotation 360+ degrees
EL rotation 0 to 90 degrees
(The antenna shall have a locking mechanism to
maintain a minimum elevation angle of
10 degrees while operating under 80 MPH w ind.)
Deployment Time 3 minutes or less
Antenna and Tripod Finish Dull black Suitably protected against corrosion due to environments found anywhere
in the world.
Wind (operational) 80 MPH
NOTE: A suitable method, which shall be detailed in
the pocket size Operators
Manual, shall be provided to maintain antenna
stability during high wind operation.
Total System Weight 6.0 lbs. Max
Carrying Case Shall be made of soft, water-resistant material,
color dull bla ck. Shall be no large
than 5 inches in diameter and no longer than 20
inches
" Antenna Extensions (NSN 5895-01-388-4428)
On Axis Gain (240-400 MHz), Nominal
-Basic antenna 7.0 dBic, 240-400 MHz
-With one Extension Assembly 9.0 dBic, 240-400 MHz
-With two Extension Assemblies 11.0 dBic, 240-318 MHz
Operating Frequency 240 to 400 MHz
Antenna Extensions Finish Dull black Suitably pro tected against corrosion due
to environments found anywhere
in the world.
Wind (operational) 80 MPH
Total Weight of Two (2)
Extension Assemblies 1.0 lb. Max
The use of Antenna Extensions shall enable the Medium Gain Antennas to obtain additional gain enhancement as required. The basic antenna shall interface /connect with the first (lower) set of the extension assembly through an adapter/connector. Location of this adapter is to be on the top of the basic antenna. Additional interface feature is then designed onto the first extension set to accommodate the s econd (upper) set of the extension assembly. The adapter / connector shall be designed to be able to accommodate both the suppliers extension assemblies and the currently fielded Army antenna extension assemblies. For storage, the two (2) antenna extens ions are to be folded and stowed in the two inside pockets of the medium Gain Antenna carrying case.
Suppliers capable of meeting the Government technical requirements of these antennas must so indicate and provide proof of their ability, in respons e to this market survey, to the procuring activity no later than April 14, 2008. Written responses shall be sent to Commander, US Army, CECOM LCMC, ATTN: AMSEL-LC-COM-T-TM (Roger Eng), Building 1202W, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey 07703-5023. Response via ele ctronic media using Microsoft Office 2000 products (i.e., Microsoft Word and Excel), and Adobe Acrobat (Portable Document Format) is acceptable. The response must include documentation such as the suppliers prototype designs (drawings or sketches) of the se antennas with supporting technical data and the currently certified test data of these antennas, copy of purchase order if the supplier was a vendor to the listed source or a statement from listed source demonstrating that the supplier can, in fact, sup ply the Army with these antennas that will be physically and functionally interchangeable with the antennas from previous supplier. Successful supplier may be required to warrant that the items supplied will satisfactorily perform when used for the purpos e intended by the Army. Technical questions shall be sent to the above address or through email to Roger Eng, email: roger.eng@us.army.mil. No telephone inquires will be accepted. This acquisition will be a minimum of five-year Indefinite Deliveries, Ind efinite Quantities (IDIQ) contract. The planned basis of award is -best value to the government-. The deadline for response to this notice is April 14, 2008.
