The U.S. Army U. S. Army Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command (CE LCMC) anticipates a requirement for a quantity of 48 AN/AVR-2B Security Keys, NSN 5810-01-561-3121, over a span of 4 years. The AN/AVR-2B Laser Detecting Set (LDS) is a passive laser warning system which receives, processes and displays threat information resulting from aircraft illumination by laser. The LDS responds to laser associated with laser range finders and laser guided weapons. The LDS consists of one signal comparator module CM-493B, four or six identical sensor units SU-130B, and security key. CM-493B is an item specially designed to correlate information from two or more signals when installed in an appropriate circuit, for similar items not having modular characteristics. The SU-130B is an item which detects, identifies and characterizes laser radiation. Information regarding threat type is generated and passed on to the comparator module, the security key holds the threat data in the comparator. The current source of supply is Collins Aerospace, 100 Wooster Hts, Danbury, CT 06810-7509. The requirements are for a span of 4 years. The Army does not own or have access to a complete technical data package defining the manufacture and acceptance testing of these items, nor can it make it available to any other organization. Only the original manufacturer, Collins Aerospace has the complete technical data package. The response must include documentation such as test results, copy of purchase order if the supplier was a vendor to the above source or a statement from the above source demonstrate that the supplier can, in fact, supply the Army. Successful supplier may be required to warrant that these items supplied will satisfactorily perform when used for the purpose intended by the Army.
