The Government encourages feedback on requirement improvement and permits disclosure of vendor questions and responses on FedBizOpps and GSA platforms with firm name withheld.
Technical requirements center on GaN pulsed amplification across 5.5 GHz to 10.5 GHz with output power exceeding 55 dBm (300W), 50-ohm input/output impedance, maximum 15% duty cycle, and power-added efficiency of 18% typical (15% minimum). The amplifier must meet gain at saturation exceeding 55 dB, gain flatness of 3 dB or less, and VSWR less than 3:1. Environmental specifications require operation from minus 20°C to plus 65°C and storage from minus 40°C to plus 85°C. Packaging is a connectorized module not exceeding 12L x 10W x 5D inches with SMA female input connectors and SMA, TNC, or N-Type female output options. Multiple parameters including input power, PAE, gain, gain flatness, and dimensions are marked flexible.
Responses must be submitted electronically to SSgt Aniyah Jackson at aniyah.jackson@us.af.mil. The RFI will inform the Government's determination of appropriate set-aside status.
