The U.S. Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service, Wallops Command Data Acquisition Station, Wallops Island,... The U.S. Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service, Wallops Command Data Acquisition Station, Wallops Island, Virginia intends to award on a Brand Name basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii) as Emcore Corporation. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) is an organizational component of the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS). The OSPO has operational responsibility for the Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC) at Suitland, MD and the Command and Data Acquisition Stations (CDAS) at Wallops, VA and Fairbanks, AK to command and control the satellites, to track the satellites, and to acquire their data. The OSPO also manages and directs the operation of the central ground facilities which ingest, process, and distribute environmental satellite data and derived products, to domestic and foreign users. NOAA Wallops Command Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS) purpose of this acquisition is to procure fiber optic transmitters, receivers, power supplies and Chassis that will meet the operational requirements of the Wallops CDA Station’s 13 meter LEO antennas. The purchase of these units will replace operation units that are now obsolete and require an upgrade to continue to support the 13 meter LEO antennas. This particular brand name is currently used and has been tested and proven to meet the technical specification requirements of the Wallops satellite tracking facility. The transmitter and receiver modules being requested are compatible with current EMCORE chassis and are interchangeable between antenna systems. These units are used to support the national critical Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES) spacecraft tracking operations at the Wallops Command and Data acquisition Station. The fiber optic transmit and receive package is a major component of the 13 meter antennas that are used to track the POES spacecraft. The EMCORE fiber modules are critical components used on the antenna and the ground station equipment when tracking satellites and must maintain the same form, fit and function as current equipment. The manufacturer has the documentation and test equipment to produce the requested items. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: BRAND: EMCORE 16 ea.
