Program Details: USAF UMTE Manufacturing Capability and ROM for NSN 6130-01-308-6190, Part Number 8811-0240-1 Remote Emitter Control Unit Power Supply; The Government is performing market research to identify sources of manufacturing capability and budget requirements for the UMTE power supply mentioned above. See associated list for reference drawings and T.O.'s . The manufactured power supply shall meet the AN/TPT-T1 (V) Unmanned Threat Emitter (UMTE) Form, Fit, Function and Interface (FFFI) requirements.

To make sure that the power supply meets these requirements, engineering services will be required to characterize existing power supply operational parameters. Respondents should also include a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate of costs to deliver and factory test the finished power supply. The government will use this ROM to budget for purchase of this power supply and will not use it as a negotiating or evaluating position for any responses to a possible follow on request for quote (RFQ). A trouble shooting and repair manual should be delivered with the power supplies.
