Frequency Converter 400 HZ System

This is a sole source, brand-name requirement to purchase four (4) each Frequency Converter 400HZ System, consisting of the following part numbers:  80-17005-27D and 80-17083-9.  Unitron, LP is the OEM and has no authorized resellers and is the only approved repair station for the PS-series product line. Unitron, LP owns the proprietary data.
 
This equipment is necessary to complete the requirements for the fabrication of a tow-able jammer prototype test station.  The PS Programmable Power Supply operates from any standard worldwide power frequency, and provides 50, 60, or 400 Hz output power in various 1Ø and 3Ø configurations, depending on which field-replaceable programming plug is selected.  Additionally, there was a size requirement of less than 10”W x 24”L x 7”H, and power requirement of a 115v single phase 60Hz input, with a 115v, 3 phase, 400Hz, 12amp output for the test stations these converters will be used in. Based on market research, Unitron is the only manufacture that meets both the size, and power requirements necessary to handle the amperage load of the ALE-50, as well as the ability to maintain its light weight deployable capabilities. Any other converter would not work due to having to increase the size of the external case, and possibly shift to using two cases increasing the cost exponentially. This converter is capable of functioning on multiple inputs, which gives it the adaptability for back shop/flight line, and foreign/domestic capabilities.

Awarded contract FA8571-20-P-0168 to Unitron LP for 65000.00 on 2020-09-18.
