59 -- Electro Magnetic Interference filters (EMI)

Amendment 0002 effective 5/15/12. The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate additional questions and answers about this solicitation. Solicitation due date remains the same. Question: Which part is to be quoted? The -1 or -2. Answer: -2 Question: Is there an NSN assigned to part number 0219843? Answer: No NSN yet, not for a few years. Question: What is the end use or platform/system that this part is being used on? Answer: Distribution Control Panel (DCP) - no further info available. Question: Are the drawings currently listed on the SPAWAR site the only technical information available? Answer: Yes. We only specify the performance criteria - the vendor will need to decide how to meet them in their design. To us it will be a "black box". Question: Will we need to design first and then build to print? Answer: Yes, but we don't get involved with design details. They must meet the specs and provide test data showing they meet/exceed them. Question: Do you have any prior information on the procurement of this part? Answer: We have purchased this in the past but the design is proprietary. Question: We can provide a MIL STD 461 compliant solution in the mechanical outline described, however can we use our own circuit to achieve the performance goals? i.e. the use of an air core is not our recommendation, can we use another component to achieve the same or better insertion loss results? Answer: First of all please correct Note 3.J to read "MIL-STD-1399-300B" to match subparagraphs 3.J.1 thru 3.J.3. Feedback: "The intent of the "AIR CORE INDUCTORS AND MOV CIRCUITS" in the drawing (see NOTIONAL SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM) is ONLY for the transient suppression reqts of Note 3.J. - specifically the 1000V spike must be reduced to no less than 550V so not to conduct during 500VDC insulation tests, therefore the 550VDC MINIMUM is called out - and is NOT intended to decribe how to design the remainder of the filter. Basically the comment was added to show that we wanted the transient suppression circuits on the FRONT END of the EMIF and does not actually specify HOW to meet. If a vendor has an alternative method then we have no objection but the vendor must show proof that the design will withstand the 1000V spike test AND the eventual shock environment - ultimately, the system will be subjected to MIL-S-901C which is the most severe shock environment in the military." **************************************************************** Amendment 0001 effective date 5/09/12. The purpose of this amendment is to correct the drawing revision, to extend the solicitation due date and to incorporate questions and answers that arised from this solicitation: The correct revision for part number 0219843 is Rev B. The solicitation due date has been extended. The new due date is 5/31/2012 at 14:00 PST. Question: Is intent of the device described in the subject solicitation to pass some element of MIL-STD 461? If so which test(s) is the device required to meet? Answer: The device BY ITSELF does not have to meet any MIL-STD-461 tests. However, the PURPOSE of the device is to enable the user system and pass MIL-STD- 461 - specifically, CE101, CE102, CS101, CS106, CS114, & CS116. Additionally, the device must protect the user system input power to meet MIL-STD-1399A (ALL), with specific callout in note 3.J.1 - 3.J.3. Question: I'm assuming that you have a vendor to manufacture the device? If you don't or if you desire alternate bids would you consider extending the response due date? Answer: We desire alternate bids. This solicitation due date is being extended. Question: In regards to the subject solicitation, when I printed the drawing that was attached, it stated Rev B on the drawing. Is this an error or will Rev A be provided? Answer: No, Revision B is the correct one. Revision A was referenced in error in the solicitation. **************************************************************** This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions Procedures.
