This Combined Synopsis/Solicitation is hereby replaced in its entirety by the following: This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for Commercial items authorized under FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Acquisition and prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is 100% Set Aside for Small Business. FOB: Destination. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, NJ is looking to procure the following items: (1) one Modular Test Analyzer to be used to test prototype wiring assemblies such as cables, harnesses, relay control boxes, wired interface panels, and prototype test boxes which are being developed to support other Navy laboratories, as well as Navy Aircraft platforms, and support equipment. The test system will also be used to fix existing cable harnesses used in the Navy Fleet. Specifications for the test system; (1) A commercial grade tester is required to be used in Wire and Fiber Optic Laboratory environment. The commercial tester will be used for research, development, and testing of prototype wiring assemblies such as cables, harnesses, relay control boxes, wired interface panels and prototype test boxes which are being developed to support other Navy laboratories, as well as Navy Aircraft platforms, and support equipment. The tester will also be used to test and aid in troubleshooting existing cable harnesses used in the Navy Fleet; (2) Shall perform automated switching expandable to 1,000 test points; (3) A design that is scalable, reconfigurable and provides an open architecture. An open architecture is characterized as utilizing well-established, non-proprietary standards for interfaces, services, software, and supporting formats; (4) A Central Processing Unit (CPU) that shall be easily separated from the test system so that it can be upgraded to newer technology without causing any additional hardware/firmware changes to the test system; (5) The ability to test wire assemblies containing / interfacing with relays, indicators, and flight control panels and junction boxes; (6) A fault locator technique which shall automatically determines the relative distance to fault in cable and harness assemblies. The information shall be logged to a report for recall on screen and printing; (7) Programmable power supply (0 - 30 VDC, 5 Amp minimum) available for stimulus power for test article components; (8) 1000 VDC Dielectric Strength and Insulation Resistance tests with programmable resistive current limits, voltage, ramp rates and dwell time limits. Shall be compliant with MIL STD 202G Method 301 / 302 and all proper safety mechanisms shall be incorporated. The tester shall provide a pass / fail indication and measurement of the leakage current; (9) Software for: a.Adapter cable design, build instructions, bill of materials and adapter cable labels, b.Adapter cable inventory control, c.Creating hookup instructions, verification test and test programs for simple and complex circuits, d.Logging data to error reports, e.Text editor for writing test programs, f.Syntax checker Ship to: Lakehurst, NJ 08733. Inspection and Acceptance at Destination. Proposals must be typewritten on 8-1/2 by 11-inch sheets of paper in a font size not smaller than 10 points. Sheets that are double-sided will be counted as two pages. Any pages exceeding five (5) will be removed by the Contracting Officer, prior to evaluation, and will not be evaluated. Pre-printed product literature will be excluded from the page count. FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items is incorporated by reference. Addendum 52.212-2 Para (a): Offers must meet, at a minimum, the Requirements Specification. Additionally, offers will be evaluated based on the following criteria: (1) Technical and (2) Price. Award will be made to the offeror presenting the best value to the government. Technical is more important than price. 1.Technical - Describe all features which enhance the efficiency and processes that result in a reduction of operational labor costs and or time to the Wire and Fiber Optic Laboratory when using the proposed equipment. For example, these procedural laboratory efficiencies can be of the following types: -Universal type connectors without having to create additional adapter cables. -Multi bus architectures to allow the flexibility of making test measurements, applying signal excitation voltages, and triggering control signals to the same contact location on a connector. -Test interface configuration that incorporates efficiencies for the design, size, and versatility of adapter cables. -Additional automated switching feature for future growth/expandability/obsolescence. -Capability to output complete wiring harness pin-pin schematic information which can be used to accelerate the preparation of technical drawing data packages. 2.Price Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provisions at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items and DFARS 252.212-700 Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items (Nov 1995) with its offer.
