Fluke Amplifier 120A

This is not a request for quote. 

SAIC has competed for an one a contract to provide Rapid Prototyping and Technology Support to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland.  In so performing, they are required to procure and provide a Fluke brand Transconductance Amplifier 120A, Model 52120A. The specific brand is required for the following reasons.
 

Due to the US Army acquisition engineering and lifecycle management processes followed by this program, and the fact that the system is currently in Limited Rate Initial Production (LRIP), there cannot be any substitute hardware that would affect

the baseline design. There have been five systems handed over to the end line user, and any changes to equipment that would affect functionality would alter the logistics readiness of the system. This item is needed to meet the requirements of the system as designed and a substitution would alter the baseline thereby affecting the logistics readiness and finalized drawing package approved by the customer. Any variation would warrant an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) as well as modifications in the field to include the logistics readiness of the system. Fluke is the only vendor that makes the 52120A amplifier to the USMC specifications.
