Industry Request for Information AN/ARN-6 ANTENNA PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the production data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for the production of the AN/ARN-6 Antenna National Stock Number (NSN): 5985-00-149-1451, part number (P/N): N212254-1, -2 and/or MN95A). Potential sources must possess the ability to provide fully functional antenna(s) meeting the requirements according to the corresponding Master Requirement Codes (MRC) listed in the table below: ABTJ MOUNTING HOLE QUANTITY 10 ACZB FREQUENCY RATING 100.000 KILOHERTZ MINIMUM SINGLE ANTENNA ELEMENT AND 1750.000 KILOHERTZ MAXIMUM SINGLE ANTENNA ELEMENT AJCU RADIATION PATTERN OMNIDIRECTIONAL SINGLE ANTENNA ELEMENT AJDH BEAM SCANNING METHOD ROTATING SINGLE ANTENNA ELEMENT AKRE VOLTAGE RATING IN VOLTS 68.0 AC SINGLE ANTENNA ELEMENT APGF DESIGN TYPE LOOP SINGLE ANTENNA ELEMENT AXGY MOUNTING METHOD BASE AND FLANGE ZZZV FSC APPLICATION DATA RADIO SET,RADIO NAVIGATION,AIRBORNE The proposed acquisition strategy is a three (3)-year buy contract (basic plus two ordering periods) beginning in FY17 and will continue through FY19. The projected quantities are for five (5) purchases in FY17, one (1) in FY18 and (1 - 4) in FY19 totaling ten (10) purchases over the life of the contract. The AN/ARN-6 Antenna functions within the Airborne Radio Navigation system providing aural reception of modulated radio frequency (RF) energy. The antenna is an item consisting of a conductor or a system of conductors specifically designed to radiate and/or receive electromagnetic waves in free space. This may include beam-forming devices, drive motors, synchro's, radome, and associated mechanical structure. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334511.The Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMC/AMSC) is 3/H: Items screened and found to be procured from the actual manufacturer or vendor, including a prime contractor who is the actual manufacturer.
