Requirement Information

1. Description of Requirement

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement for 150 sets (4 connector housing, pins, sockets, etc. per set) of very specific avionics blind mate connectors. These modular rack and panel connectors are to serve as mechanical, electrical, and environmental interfaces between line-replaceable units (LRUs) and the host environment. Each set must include two pairs of blind-mate connectors to be used in a custom designed electronics enclosure, which has been designed to incorporate the specific connectors identified in this purchase request.

These connectors must be sealed from environmental intrusion, rugged and be able to withstand a minimum of 500 mating and de-mating cycles and support power, RF, signal, and fiber optic cables in a custom layout to support the needs of the project. The connectors must also meet the mechanical form factor of no greater than 2.25" tall, 7.5" in length and 1.75" deep

The connectors must feature a rectangular molded insulator enclosed in a composite or metal shell, with contacts arranged in application-specific configurations that support high-speed data, power, signal, and fiber optics. The shell will be secured to a communications enclosure with screws. Connectors must be front release/removable and have low insertion loss.

These connectors will be utilized in the installation of communication equipment in vehicles. Delivery of these connectors is required within 20 weeks of contract award to align with the sponsoring agency's schedule.

- IAW DFARS 252.213-7000, the contracting officer shall consider data available in the statistical reporting module of the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) regarding the supplier's past performance history for the PSC and/or NAICS of the supplies being purchased.

- Ratings:

o Low Risk: SPRS Supplier Risk Score of Blue, Purple, or Green, indicating a higher score in SPRS and are therefore, considered to have a lower risk of poor contract performance o High Risk: SPRS Supplier Risk Score of Yellow or Red, indicating a lower score in SPRS and are therefore, considered to have a higher risk of poor contract performance o Neutral: In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in SPRS for the NAICS or PSC of the supplies being purchased, the supplier may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history.

3. Price Reasonableness

The Government anticipates making a determination of fair and reasonable price based on competitive quotes. If only one response is received, the Government may use other methods as described at 13.106-3(a)(2).
