Notice text
This notice announces the intent by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) to Negotiate on a sole source basis in accordance with (IAW) FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with Voss Scientific LLC, 418 Washington Street SE, Albuquerque, NM, 87108-2811 as the only responsible source that can provide a Fully Integrated 4-channel RF dosimetry system.
The USAMRICD requires procurement of one (1) Fully Integrated 4-channel RF Dosimetry System for Characterization of free-space electromagnetic signals with primary frequency content in the 10 MHz-3 GHz range. The key capabilities needed are: (1) a commercial, mature software package for controlling the data recording equipment, with software to reduce the data to user-definable metric values within seconds of a test; (2) a technical staff experienced in RF engineering and more specifically the generation of ultrawideband (UWB) and narrowband RF energy and its measurement; (3) ability to integrate all hardware and their calibration data with the software so that all RF metrics are accurately compiled and recorded in an archival database; and (4) cradle-to-grave support of software and hardware to meet evolving USAMRICD requirements,.
The specific system requested by USAMRICD are sold exclusively through Voss Scientific, LLC. There are no other vendors that resell the product. It is unique in that it integrates microwave sensors, calibrated cable sets, multiple channels of high end transient digitizer recording for data capture and date recording activity, data reduction algorithms and data archiving activities in a single package. No other vendor has the equipment capabilities related to USAMRICD’s research program.
As a result Voss Scientific, LLC is the only contractor that can provide the Fully Integrated 4 channel RF dosimetry system.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 334515 and the PSC Code is 6625.
This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.102(a)(3) and 5.203(a). USAMRAA intends to publish a solicitation no sooner than 15 days after publishing this synopsis.
