Synopsis:
1. NOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only.
1.1 The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 541330 which has a corresponding size standard of $35.5. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners.

2. Program Details:
The program is interested in validating the data in their possession for the Diode Modulator subassembly, NSN 5895-01-600-2727, P/N 201128233. This unit is used in the AN/MST-T1A Multiple Threat Emitter System (MUTES) and the AN/MST-T1(V) Miniature Multiple Threat Emitter System (Mini-MUTES) K-pedestal configuration.

The diode modulator resides in the modulator assembly of the transmitters. The modulator assembly amplifies and modulates signals from the transmitter radar signal simulator. The diode modulator operates in frequencies ranging from 650 to 920 MHz and generates a peak power of 50 kW.

This notification is to also identify potential contractors who have skills, experiences, and knowledge required to successfully complete this effort for Hill Air Force Base, Utah and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement will be accomplished. This is not a request for a proposal or invitation for bid. However, what the government will like to receive as a response to this RFI is a write-up from potential contractors highlighting their skills, experiences with, and knowledge of high power, high frequency transmitter components. Potential contractors should have skills in evaluation engineering, reverse engineering and design build. They should also have a high power, high frequency transmitter to test the diode modulator. It is in the best interest of potential contractors to also provide price estimates so that the program can prepare funding as necessary.

Respondents to this request will be retained in a file and subsequently provided a copy of a Request for Proposal (RFP) if and when it is issued. Responding to this request in no manner guarantees a contract will be awarded to the respondent for the validation of the diode modulator data.

All information received in response to this announcement that is marked proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses will not be returned. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), a response to this notice is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this announcement.

Interested parties may contact the supply chain engineer for the part by sending an email to [email protected]. Correspondence should contain RFI5895-01-600-2727. Please respond by May 31, 2013.
