BACKGROUND/PURPOSE/TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ seeks potential sources to revise, integrate, incorporate, and certify performance modifications of a form, fit, and function to the Signal Generator Test Set (SGTS) A4 Radio Frequency (RF) Amplifier (AMP) Circuit Card Assembly (CCA). The Government seeks to procure six (6) revised A4 RF AMP CCAs with its associated technical data package and acceptance test procedures to replace the current A4 RF AMP CCA (Part Number: SFT 1107-1 Rev C).
Naval Aviation (Navy and Marine Corps) currently uses the AN/USM-713 SGTS at the flight line to conduct Insertion Loss (IL), Return Loss (RL), Voltage-Standing-Wave Ratio (VSWR), and Distance-To-Fault (DTF) measurements on aircraft Radio Frequency (RF) transmission lines, in-line RF components and antennas. The Navy and Marine Corps require the revised A4 RF AMP CCA to reduce noise generated by the current A4 RF AMP CCA which causes the SGTS to fail current Instrument Calibration Procedures and has reduced test set availability for fleet use.
SUBMITTAL INFORMATION: It is requested that interested businesses submit to the contracting office a brief capabilities statement package (no more than 10 pages in length, single spaced, 12-point font minimum) demonstrating ability to meet the requirements outlined above. This documentation must address, at a minimum, the following:
