Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) cost to modify R3100 VMEbus Tuner Motherboard Cards

SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego plans to award a sole source open market order valued at approximately $38,926 to Eclipse Electronic Systems, Inc. for Non-Recurring Engineering modifications to their R3100 VMEbus Tuner Motherboard Cards. The contract involves upgrading the dual channel, coherent 20-1000 MHz VMEbus tuners, specifically replacing the previously used TQFP package Xilinx FPGA with a Ball Grid Array (BGA) package due to unavailability of the TQFP variant. The tuners also feature 10 MHz bandwidth IF filters. This modification aims to ensure continued functionality and compatibility of the hardware. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334511 and is managed by the Department of Defense’s Niwc Pacific office located in San Diego, California. The technical and contractual liaison for this acquisition is Angela King, Contract Specialist, who can be contacted for further information. The work is designated as Non-Recurring Engineering, implying a one-time development effort to implement this hardware change.
