58 -- RF transceiver and antenna coupler system

Solicitation N00421-07-T-0168 is issued as a request for quote (RFQ). This action is set aside for small business. The Government intends to purchase on a firm fixed-price basis and to solicit and negotiate the proposed purchase order on a sole source basis with Sunair Electronics for the item listed below, under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1. The required Sunair Tranceivers and Couplers are in support of the United States Air Force (USAF) Remote Radio Secure Voice System (RRSVS) Program, which is currently in the production stage. The continued procurement of these items from Sunair is required to maintain the configuration management, interoperability and interchangeability between vehicle platforms within the RRSVS systems. These item are only available from Sunair Electronics. Only Sunair Electronics can provide an RF transceiver and antenna coupler system that meets RRSVS requirements for height, weight and power output constraints. Due to extremely limited space within the vehicles, the radio equipment must not exceed 6 inches in height and not weigh over 50 pounds in order to fit within a 4U rack. At a height of 5.96 inches, weight of 49 pounds and output of 125 watts, the Sunair RT-9000A Radio System is the only product that satisfies all of the RRSVS specifications. The contract line item numbers and descriptions are **CLIN 0001, Quantity 9 ea, P/N: 8112128651, RT-9000A HF SSB Transceiver RRSVS 07 RU-9 qty 9 RT-9000A HF SSB Transceiver comes with 9 AC power cords; CLIN 0002, Quantity 1 ea, P/N: 8112128651, RT-9000A HF SSB Transceiver RRSVS 05-06 Spares 06 Sys Pipe, qty 1 RT-9000A HF SSB Transceiver w/power cord; CLIN 0003, Quantity 9 ea, P/N: 8110001050, F-9800 Automatic Pre/post RRSVS 07RU-9 qty 9 F-9800 Automatic pre/post selector comes with 9 AC power cord; CLIN 0004, Quantity 1 ea, P/N: 8110001050, F-9800 Automatic Pre/post RRSVS 05-06 spares 06 sys pipe qty 1 F-9800 Automatic pre/post selector; CLIN 0005, Quantity 9 ea, P/N: 8085000253, CU 9125 Automatic Antenna RRSVS 07RU-9 qty 9 CU -9125 Automatic antenna coupler; CLIN 0006, Quantity 3 ea, P/N: 8085000253, CU 9125 Automatic Antenna RRSVS 05-06 spares 06 sys pipe qty 3 CU -9125 Automatic antenna coupler; CLIN 0007, Quantity 9 ea, P/N: 8080000492, Shock Mount Kit, CU-9125 RRSVS 07RU-9 qty 9 shock mount kit, CU-9125.
