See http://farsite.hill.af.mil/ for the full text of all provisions and clauses incorporated by reference herein. This procurement is being issued as Total Small Business under NAICS code 334515 and small business size standard 750 employees. The contractor shall provide the following items on a BRAND NAME, firm fixed price basis, including the cost of shipping FOB Destination. For reference, required brand name is Rohde & Schwarz. Offers received for items that are not Rohde & Schwarz brand name will NOT be considered for award.

SGS-B1 (4x) c. SGS-B26 (4x) d. SGS-B106V (4x) e. SGS-B112V (4x) f. SGS-K22 (4x) g. SGS-K90 (4x) h. ACASGS100A (4x) i. ZZA-KN20 (4x) j. SGS-Z8 (4x) CLIN 0001 - SGS100A (Qty. of 4) R&S SGS100A SGMA RF Source is the smallest fully integrated vector signal generator on the market [1 height unit (1.75 inches) by 19.5 inches long], saving space for system integration; and can enable high throughput due to very short frequency times ~ 280 microseconds. It can be used as a local oscillator (LO) for cavity measurements or as an LO for IQ sideband generation. The Single Sideband (SSB) Phase Noise (noise that spreads from carrier to sideband) is -133 dBc [decibels relative to the carrier]. The SSB Phase Noise is further lowered with the OCXO option. The SGS100A RF Source has a frequency range: 1 MHz - 12.75 GHz: Continuous Wave; 80 MHz - 12.75 GHz: I/Q Modulator and uses a 10 MHz reference and a 1 GHz reference standard, which are used to generate phase-coherent, synchronized signals between two signal sources. When coupled with the SGS-K90, (oven controlled crystal oscillator) we can obtain much better phase-coherence. CLIN 0002 - SGS-B1 (Qty. of 4) A reference oscillator OCXO [Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator]. Multiple units can be coupled through the LO reference ports. CLIN 0003 - SGS-B26 (Qty. of 4) An electronic step attenuator will allow us to vary the power attenuation of our signals in a controlled and graduated way. This device increases ranges from -20 dBm to +25 dBm to a new range of -120 dBm to + 25 dBm with a resolution of 0.01 dB CLIN 0004 - SGS-B106V (Qty. of 4) 1 MHz to 6 GHz, I/Q with vector modulation package. [I/Q: In Phase/Quadrature]. CLIN 0005 - SGS-B112V (Qty. of 4) Frequency Extension to 12.75 GHz, CW, I/Q. CLIN 0006 - SGS-K22 (Qty. of 4) This Pulse modulation package can be used in conjunction with IQ modulation. The pulse modulator can be controlled by an internal pulse generator. The rise/fall time is on the order of 20 nanoseconds. This Pulse modulator is used for high dynamic range requirements. The On/Off Ratio > 80 dB. The pulse modulation option is an add-on to the IQ modulation option, manipulating the trigger and other signals to ultimately obtain an RF-Out pulse. CLIN 0007 - SGS-K90 (Qty. of 4) Phase Coherent Input/output package. The frequency range of the internal local oscillator signal for RF setting 80 MHz - 6.5 GHz is between 80 MHz and 6.5 GHz. The frequency range of the internal local oscillator signal for RF setting between 6.5 and 12.75 GHz is 3.25 - 6.375 GHz. CLIN 0008 - ACASGS100A (Qty. of 4) Accredited calibration certificate (ISO 17025: General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories and ISO 9001: Certified Quality Management). CLIN 0009 - ZZA-KN20 (Qty. of 4) A 19 inch rack adapter for mounting two half 19" housings 1 TU high next to each other in a standard 19" rack. CLIN 0010 - SGS-Z8(Qty. of 4) An SGMA Adapter side-by-side to connect to SGMA units.
