Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document is a Salient Characteristics Commercial Availability Certification that outlines the required specifications for six (6) portable optical fiber delay lines that the government is seeking to procure under Solicitation W911QX24Q0203.

The key requirements include: providing six (6) spools of optical fiber, each encased in a metal or plastic enclosure no larger than 15 liters with the fiber fixed in place; two-kilometer, five-kilometer, and ten-kilometer fiber lengths of specific Coherent and Corning fiber types with maximum insertion losses; and FC/APC connectors on the fiber ends with low-loss mating sleeves. The government is seeking a Total 100% Small Business Set-Aside for this requirement, to be competed through the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground. All quotes must be submitted via email before the solicitation closing date to be considered for award.

Salient Characteristics

Commercial Availability Certification:

I have evaluated the commercial marketplace and determined that all of the salient characteristics documented below are available in products/services offered in the commercial marketplace.

Signature (typed name): _TBA after Contract Award_____

Technical Point of Contact (TPOC)

The Contractor shall provide six (6) portable optical fiber delay lines, and shipping and handling, meeting the following requirements:

· The Contractor shall provide six (6) spools of optical fiber. Each spool shall be in its own metal or plastic enclosure that fully encases the spool.

· The total volume of each individual enclosure shall be no greater than 15 Liters (L) and with no single side of the enclosure exceeding 50 centimeters (cm) in length.

· Each fiber shall be fixed within its enclosure with an adhesive such as a glue or epoxy to eliminate vibrational sensitivity.

· There shall also be thermally insulating material within the enclosure to provide thermal insulation for the fiber spool against environmental temperature fluctuations outside of the enclosure.

· This could be fulfilled by the adhesive if it is thermally insulating, or it could be fulfilled with a second material.

· The two (2) ends of each fiber spool shall have ferrule connector / angled physical contact (FC/APC) connectors. There shall be fiber mating sleeves going through the wall of the fiber enclosure to allow easy mating of external FC/APC fibers to the fiber spool inside the enclosure.

· Six (6) of the above-described fiber + enclosure systems shall be provided, following these specifications:

· Two (2) units of fiber + enclosure, each containing one (1) kilometer of Coherent 780-HP fiber

· Two (2) units of fiber + enclosure, each containing two (2) kilometers of Coherent 780-HP fiber

· One (1) unit of fiber + enclosure containing five (5) kilometers of Coherent 780-HP fiber

· One (1) unit of fiber + enclosure containing ten (10) kilometers of Corning HI1060 fiber

· At the time of delivery, the spools of Coherent 780-HP fiber shall maintain an insertion loss of less than four (4) decibels per kilometer (dB/km) with an optical input with a wavelength of 780 nanometers (nm) and less than two (2) dB/km with an optical input with a wavelength of 1000 nm. The spool of Corning HI1060 shall maintain an insertion loss of less than two and one half (2.5) dB/km with an optical input with a wavelength of 980 nm at the time of delivery. This insertion loss requirement does not include insertion loss of the mating sleeves at the input / output of the fiber enclosure. The loss of these connections shall be less than two (2) dB per facet when tested with mating FC/APC fiber of the same type at the input and output of the enclosure.
