1. INTRODUCTION

The US Air Force, National Radar Cross-Section Test Facility (NRTF) is pursuing a multi-phase development of an S-Ku band Tier IV Dynamic RCS Measurement System (DRMS) at White Sands

NM to augment the current test facility. The DRMS will use dedicated wideband coherent octave traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) per radar band and per polarization. The Contractor’s shall meet the minimum requirements stated in the Requirements Documents, appendices 1-4.

S-Ku Band DRMS TWTA Specifications TR#001-046

Transmitter Control Ethernet Interface

The Requirements Document and the associated technical appendicies are to provide the requirements to define the TWTAs necessary to meet DRMS requirements. The DRMS system will initially procure a total of eight (8) TWTAs, two (2) per band with the option to purchase four (4) additional spare TWTAs (one (1) per band), as needed, up to a maximum of 12 total TWTAs on this acquisition.

2. DELIVERY

Delivery requirements for the TWTS are as follows:

1. Eight (8) TWTAs: No later than Mar 31, 2022.

2. Option 1 (Date of award to 24 months), Four (4) spare TWTAs: Due no later than 18 months after exercise of the option.

3. PROJECT SCHEDULE

The Contractor shall provide a complete milestone schedule that denotes major activities, demonstrations, and acceptance testing.

4. TECHNCAL INTERCHANGE AND ACCEPTANCE

The contractor shall conduct the following reviews with Government representatives:

Kick-off/ Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM)

Mid-Term Program Management and Progress Meeting

Physical Configuration Audit (PCA)/Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

Assembly Drawings

Technical Theory, Operation and Maintenance Training and Manuals

These meeting shall be conducted in a format of the Contractor’s choosing and shall cover the overall technical approach, constraints, methods and techniques being examined, performance metrics and results.

5. REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

The Contractor shall provide performance to plan status reports and schedule updates to the AF

Project Manager per the frequency in Table 5-1. All documents are subject to Government acceptance and approval.

Table 5.1 Reporting Requirements

6. CONTRACTOR CONTACT INFORMATION

Upon notice of award, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer and the Government

Project Manager the names and contact information (address, phone number, and email) of a minimum of two (2) Contractor representatives, preferably the contracting agent and project leader.

Any changes in the contact information will immediately be updated by the Contractor as they occur during the duration of this contract and be provided to the Contracting Officer and the

Government Project Manager.
