Inactive Partial Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

Purpose of Announcement: This is a market survey for vendors who are interested and capable of providing RF Power Calibrators/Power Monitors (RFPC) for the FAA’s Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) ... Purpose of Announcement: This is a market survey for vendors who are interested and capable of providing RF Power Calibrators/Power Monitors (RFPC) for the FAA’s Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) for System Calibration. The RFPC samples RF energy in the Microwave Assembly of the Transmitter and converts it into a DC voltage level representing the RF average power from a calibrated device. The function is to determine the average power output of the Transmitter. The RFPC was originally manufactured by NARDA (East) as a custom device and built to Raytheon SCD G432183. The OEM, L3 Harris NARDA-MITEQ, discontinued the product line several years ago and the FAA has depleted most of its inventory of spares; having consumed an estimated 2 per year over the last 8 years. To support of TDWR Program, at the current rate of consumption over the next 8 years, would require an estimated 16 new devices. The FAA has an interest in procuring this device. Whether the device can be manufactured or a qualifying Form-Fit-Function replacement identified, the FAA is open to any suitable options. The original Raytheon specification and an image of the part are attached to this announcement. Any Industrial Standards or Specifications meeting or exceeding the Mil Specs identified in the SCD are acceptable. Applicable NAICS Codes: 334515 - Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals 334220 - Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications 334419 - Other Electronic Component Manufacturing NSN: 6625-01-3637140 NSN Description: CALIBRATOR,FREQUENCY Common Description: RF POWER CALIBRATOR Raytheon Delivered Part Number: G432183-1 Last Supplier: NARDA OEM Part Number: 70031 Estimated Forecast Demand: 8 per year The responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a screening information request or request for proposal of any kind. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals.
