MEMORANDUM FOR OO-ALC/PZBA
FROM: AFNWC/NIEI
SUBJECT: Request Brand Source Justification for Optical Time Domain Reflectometer on PR
Description of Requirement: This acquisition replaces existing SMIC test equipment, Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) and Optical TDR, which are no longer supported. A TDR is essential to characterize and locate faults in the many miles of cabling at the Minuteman III Strategic Missile Integration Complex (SMIC). A TDR is also required by TO when installing Radio Frequency (RF) antennas. Optical TDR is used to diagnose fiber optic network lines at the SMIC. The unit required characterizes and locates faults in both types of cables: copper and fiber optic.
1. Mission Impact: Replacement OTDR/TDR will be used for characterizing and locating faults in copper and fiber optic cables supporting SMIC test stations used during system level testing on Minuteman III replacement equipment. Without this tool to characterize and locate signal faults, weapon system tests will be delayed and/or interrupted thus costing funding and time to test programs such as Minuteman III PGP-51, MMPU, ICU II, Fast B-Plug FDE, E6B Flyover, and NSCCA PATE.
2. Proposed Brand: Fluke Networks, INC. OFP-100-Qi/GLD Optifiber Pro Quad OTDR, TDR add-on: Fluke Networks, INC. DSX-ADD-R 1 GHZ DSX CABLEANALYZER MODULES ADD ON KIT W/ REMOTE with inspection and 1 year gold support offered on GSA.
3. Sole Source Circumstances/Mission Impact: N/A.
4. Attempts to Obtain Competition: This acquisition is using GSA as preferred source. However, several vendors carry the Fluke Network, INC. equipment. A few are listed below:
a. Graybar Electric Company, 2841 S. 900 W. Salt Lake City, Utah 84119, 602-269-4970
b. Anixter, 3775 W California Ave, Ste. 400, Salt Lake City, Utah 84104, 801-973-2121
5. Statement: The existing OTDR/TDR has been in service since FY2005 and is being replaced under this action as part of a regular SMIC equipment replacement program.
