The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC San Diego) intends to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity type contract to Synergy Microsystems, Inc. This sole source procurement will be conducted using the procedures of FAR Subpart 13.5 Test Program for Certain Commercial Items (Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996). This is not a request for proposal and no solicitation is available. The contract will provide for the purchase of a maximum of eighteen VSS4/G4 Quad PPC 750 DSP array processor boards for use in the Advanced Modular Electronics Distant Sentinel (AMEDS) Receiver System. SSC San Diego requires a single-board Array Processor system to perform signal processing, system control, and interface for the Distant Sentinel system. The board must utilize a VERSAmodule Eurocard (VME64) interface and provide enough processing power for high-speed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithmic computations. The array processor system must consist of two SCSI interface ports, two RS-232 Serial interfaces, an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T interface, and a PCI Mezzanine interface. The array processor must meet the performance minimum of 3.5 GFLOPS and support the LINUX operating system. The board's physical dimensions must be compatible with the VME64 back plane and comply with chassis volume restrictions. Delivery to SSC San Diego will be required within 45 days upon issuance of delivery order. The VSS4/G4 Quad PPC 750 DSP is the only array processor board that meets these requirements and is compatible with the software driver interfaces used in the AMEDS Receiver System. Use of any other vendor would result in extensive costs associated with having to rewrite all of the software driver interfaces to accommodate a different array processor board. It is not expected that these costs would be recovered through competition.
