REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) – Advance Traversing Antenna Tower Description(s): SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR: Advance Traversing Antenna Tower THIS IS A MARKET SURVEY FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPISIS. NO REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE MADE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO THIS SYNOPSIS OR ANY FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION REQUESTS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SYNOPSIS IS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF POTENTIALLY QUALIFIED SOURCES AND THEIR SIZE CLASSIFICATIONS (SMALL BUSINESS, LARGE BUSINESS, ETC.). PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF A SOLICITATION, AS ONE DOES NOT EXIST. 1. Purpose. This is a sources sought synopsis in support of Market Research being conducted by the United States Air Force to identify potential sources for an Advanced Traversing Antenna Tower (ATAT), which will be a vital piece of test equipment used at the Benefield Anechoic Facility (BAF) to transmit and receive electromagnetic signals at multiple elevations 2. Requirement. This requirement mut be met in accordance with the attached requirements document. This acquisition anticipates seeking a contractor who can provide an Advanced Traversing Antenna Tower (ATAT). This tower will be collecting highly complex antenna patterns from installed radar warning receivers (RWR). Multiple elevation measurements are required to be made simultaneously. The system under test (SUT) will be placed in the center of the anechoic chamber and rotated. The SUT will be rotated in azimuth with the precision of 0.1 degrees while antennas on the ATAT measure amplitude and phase from the antennas on the SUT in both horizontal and vertical polarizations. The BAF is large enough such that these measurements can be done in the far field. 3. Information requested. The Government requests interested offerors that can fully support this requirement furnish the following information: 1. Company name, DUNs number and Cage Code, address, points of contact, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. 2. Information should include a brief description of experience in providing the type of support described above. The information package must be clear, concise, and complete. The Air Force is under no obligation to provide feedback to the company, or to contact the company for clarification of any information submitted in response to this request. 3.

Small business size standards are published by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and may be found at www.sba.gov/size/sizetable2002.html. The potential North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes assigned to this procurement is 334515 “Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals” and the Small Business Size Standard is 750 employees. 4. Any other information deemed useful to the Air Force. Information packages should be limited to no more than 1 pages. 4. Inquiries. Any qualified and interested companies responding to this announcement must be able to support all areas. NO partial support responses from industry will be accepted. Any inquiries are due on or before 3 March 24, 2024 at 12:00pm PST. The due date and time for responses to this synopsis is 12:00pm Pacific Standard Time on 5 March 2024.
