This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared IAW the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-08 and DFARs Change Notice (DCN) 2006-03-21. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 3812 and the size standard is 750 employees. NAICS is 334511.This acquisition is a 100% small business set aside. Simplified Acquisition Procedures (the award will be less than $100,000) will be followed. This purchase will be for The ABS-400 is a programmable airborne telemetry bit synchronizer designed specifically for command and control applications in the severe environment of tactical aircraft. ABS400 - Airborne Bit Sync 30W Base Unit/BSM 410, Qty 8 each, BSM 410/Additional Bit Sync, Qty 8 each. The basic system consists of a Base Module containing a 30-W power supply and one BSM-410 bit synchronizer. One additional BSM-410 bit synchronizer is also added in order to form a dual bit synchronizer assembly, each unit operating independently. Set-up and control are performed via Windows based programming circuitry. Bit synchronizer lock is accomplished and maintained with up to eight errors in the sync code. Loss of receiver input signal will cause the bit synchronizer to clamp the operating data rate to the pre-programmed rate. Programming is accomplished via an integral RS-232 port with programmable variables including: Bits/Word, Words/Frame, Sync Pattern, Sync Correlation, Sync Lock Strategy and Sync Loss Strategy. ABS-400/BSM-410 specifications include: Standard IRIG code formats of NRZ-L, NRZ-M, NRZ-S, RNRZ-L, Bi-phase-L, Bi-phase-M and Bi-phase-S. Bit Rates range from 100 bps to 10 Mbps for NRZ codes and from 100 bps to 5 Mbps for Bi-phase codes. PCM data input requires single-ended signal with less than +/- 20% jitter and up to 50% of signal amplitude. Input impedance can be 50 Ohms or 1 M Ohm with less than 50 pf nominal. Usable input range is 100 mV p/p through 10 V p/p. Digital output data and clock is RS-422. Bit Synchronizer functions include filter and sample detector, programmable loop bandwidths of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.8% or 1.6%, a tuning resolution of 0.1%, tracking range of 3 times loop bandwidth, a capture range of 3 times loop bandwidth, a minimum capture SNR of 12 dB, a bit error rate of less than 1dB from theoretical at 1.0 Mbps NRZ-L, run lengths of up to 100 symbols, clock jitter of less than 0.5% at 12 dB Eb/No, and a lock time of less than 100 symbols for NRZ data and less than 50 symbols for Bi-phase data at 12 dB Eb/No. Input power requirement is 28 Vdc +/- 6 V with a nominal input current of 480 mA. Over-voltage tolerance is 40 V. The system meets the EMI specification of MIL-STD-461C, 462. The unit's physical size is 2.5 X 3.5 X 2 with a weight not to exceed 17 oz. Individual modules will be stacked vertically with the Base Module/Power Supply at the bottom and in contact with the mounting pallet or shelf for best heat dissipation. Additional modules will be stacked vertically above the Base Module. The environmental characteristics include an operating temperature range of - 40C to +85C with a storage range from - 54C to +125C. Sinusoidal vibration range is 10g from 50 to 2000Hz and random vibration is 20g from 20 to 2000Hz. Shock specification is 275g half sine for 1.0 mS while operating humidity is from 1% to 98% relative. These units must be in exact form, fit, and function of what is currently being used for the F-16 aircraft. They must be identical to pre-existing hardware to save aircraft mod cost and time.
