Added: Jun 13, 2018 1:50 pm The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), Point Mugu, California, intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract using other than full and open competition procedures in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source. Negotiations will be conducted with Bird, XCOM Systems, LLC, located at 12345-B Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, VA. 20191, in order to procure two XCOM IQC91000A Real-Time RF Signal Recording and Playback Systems for the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) Integrated Product Team (IPT) located at the NAWCWD, Point Mugu, CA. The Government anticipates contract award in the fourth quarter of FY2018.

The Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) testing requires an RF Record and Playback System capable of:
- Instantaneous signal bandwidth at 1000 MHz
- 1000 MHz signal fidelity preserved upon record and playback with at least 12-bit resolution
- Capable of collecting In-Phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) data
- Continuous data collection and playback for a minimum of 15 minutes at 1000 MHz instantaneous bandwidth
- Large file data storage built into the system to minimize downtime for terabytes of data transfer
- Open file format architecture to utilize existing JATO MATLAB tools and software
- Accepts IRIG-B input for precise timestamping of events during recording
- Declassification/sanitization process to allow system to be used between unclassified and classified environments.

XCOM ICQ91000A is the only product that meets the bandwidth requirements, I/Q data format, and is identical to the JATO configuration.

Contractors must be certified through Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS) in order to access Controlled Unclassified Information within FBO. See the DLIS website for registration details: https://public.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/jcp/search.aspx

Going forward, all new entities registering in GSA's System for Award Management (SAM), as well as existing registrations being updated or renewed, will require the submission of an original, signed notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator for the entity associated with the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number before the registration will be activated. It is recommended that all interested parties be aware that processing this additional information may take several days and are proactive in maintaining the SAM registrations in an "Active" status as the government cannot award to an entity without an "Active" SAM registration.
