This Solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) #1332KP25Q0018 for Two (2) RF 16 x 16 IF
distributive matrix switches/ Extended L-band Victor Matrix. P/N: VTR-71-B5B5-1616,
Manufacturer: ETL Systems Inc., to provide the required switching interface between the GOES
intermediate frequency distribution switches (RIFDS, TIFDS, RXDS, TXDS) and the rackmounted
spectrum analyzer. This requirement is a brand name requirement for the
existing GOES Spectrum Monitoring and Control system. This system utilizes custom
LabVIEW-based software that was developed on-site at WCDAS specifically for use
with ETL Systems, Inc., matrix switch P/N: VTR-71-B5B5-1616. Acquisition of any
other make or model matrix switch would require a complete re-write of the existing
LabVIEW software, resulting in unnecessary cost to the government and significant
operational downtime of the monitoring system. No substitutes allowed. (see attached solicitation for additional information)
