CLASS AB LInear Amplifier

Added: Jun 07, 2018 9:55 am The following questions or clarifications regarding the CLASS AB amplifier were asked, and the answers follow. 

1.       Page 40 of 47, Voltage Gain: It appears that you are specifying a fixed 0dB and 10 (20dB) gain settings or a variable gain setting. Is this true or do you want all three settings?

Answer: The amplifier does not have to have all three settings as long as the unit has at least 0 dB to 20 dB range with a continuously variable gain setting.

2.       Page 40 of 47, Phase Reversal: Depending on the answer to question 1, is the phase reversal only to be made in the 0dB gain position or can it be made in all gain positions?

Answer: The phase reversal can be made in all gain positions as long as we have an option to choose the output signal to be inverted or non-inverted.

3.       Page 41 of 47, Input Impedance: Can the variable gain mode impedance be changed to 5k ohms or greater?

Answer: Yes,  the variable gain mode impedance can be changed to 5k ohms or greater.

4.       Page 41 of 47, Output Impedance: Can the specifications here be changed to "the amplifier's output should be able to drive a 600 ohm output and meet specifications."?  

Answer: Yes, the output impedance specification can be changed to "the amplifier's output should be able to drive a 600 ohm output".

ALTHOUGH NOT SPECIFICALLY ASKED IN THE RFP, PLEASE INCLUDE BOTH AMPLIFIER MODEL AND PART NUMBER AS APPROPRIATE.  IF THE MODEL AND PART NUMBER ARE THE SAME, PLEASE TELL US SO.  THIS IS NOT A DIQAULIFYING EVALUATION ITEM, RATHER SOMETHING THAT WILL ACCELERATE THE AWARD PROCESS SHOULD YOUR PROPOSAL BE ACCEPTED. THANK YOU

AS A RESULT OF THESE QUESTIONS BEING ASKED AND THE ANSWERS PROVIDED, AN ADDITIONAL WEEK OF IS ALLOWED FOR ALL PROPOSALS UNTIL jUNE 25, 2018

The United States Navy, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Metrology and Calibration (METCAL) has a requirement for a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with an initial order for a quantity of 3 each Class AB Linear Amplifiers to be ordered on the initial order, and an option to purchase an additional quantity of forty-two (42) each Class AB Linear Amplifiers which may be exercised upon successful completion of initial evaluation and a time not to exceed twelve (12) months after contract award. The Linear Class A Amplifiers shall comply with the specifications listed in Calibration Standards Specification (CSS) 02-3257 and be in compliance with the Statement of Work (SOW). The Linear Class AB Amplifier requirements are well defined in the CSS and SOW such that firm fixed prices for a qualified product will be established in the contract.

This requirement is solicited for full and open competition, award made to the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Offeror. Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.6 Streamlined Procedures for the Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items and 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items shall be utilized.

Proposals must demonstrate compliance with all technical requirements identified in CSS 02-3258B (see CSS 02-3257 and Evaluation Checklist, integral to the RFP. To determine the technical acceptability, all proposals will be evaluated on an "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" basis. Technical and Price are the only factors that will be evaluated.

As stated above, the minimum quantity of the contract is 3 each Linear Class AB Amplifiers to be ordered on the initial order, and an option for an additional 42 each Linear Class AB Amplifiers which may be ordered during the option exercise period.
MODIFICATION INFORMATION. THE REFERENCE TO 22 UNITS ON PAGE 3 OF THE RFP IS INCORRECT. THE PROPER RFP OPTION QUANTITY IS FOR 42.
