- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only request for quotations; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation Number 03Q0045 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) through Federal Acquisition Circular 01-15. This action is a 100% small business set-aside. The NAICS code is 334220 and the small business size standard is 750 employees. The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) has a requirement for a quantity of 100 enhanced minidisc recorder kits. The MiniDisc recorder shall be the Daniel Technology model MZ-N1/D which has remote control capabilities to execute both the ?RECORD? and ?STOP? functions regardless of whether the keyboard ?HOLD? switch is engaged or not. The recorder must have a fully functional ?HOLD? switch to protect the keyboard from inadvertent operation. The remote control which is included shall be the Daniel Technology model BS-MZ90 or equal, which must be interchangeable with the existing brand name product. The microphones supplied shall be a miniature stereo pair which terminates in a single right angle 3.5mm connector. The microphones shall have a molded housing with an internal high compliance suspension to minimize the introduction of vibration or clothing noise. The use of heat shrinkable tubing in the construction of the housing is not acceptable as the necessary heating can cause long term latent damage to the microphone element. The microphone housing shall be no larger than 0.40"x0.22"x0.17" and shall have the sound port on the end opposite the cable to prevent being occluded by tape or the object to which it is mounted. The cable shall be ultra flexible, dark in color for concealment (black or brown), 2.0mm in diameter. Thinner cable is not desired as it is not as durable and thicker cable is also not desired because it is more difficult to conceal. The frequency response shall be 150Hz to 8kHz +/- 5dB. Wider frequency response is not desirable as it is outside the range of voice intelligibility and only adds interfering noise. The microphones shall draw no more than 25 micro-Amps per element. A personal acoustic telephone recording device, Olympus model TP-6 or equal, shall be supplied. The recorder shall be powered by a single internal rechargeable battery capable of 12 hours record time in standard play mode or an AC adapter which also is the charger for the battery, both to be included. Other accessories to be supplied: stereo earphones, amplified stereo loudspeakers (sufficient for a group of at least ten people), line output cable, operating instructions, rigid storage case with internal foam to protect the equipment. Any modification to the recorder by the vendor in order to meet the specifications above shall be completely reversible so as to allow repair (in or out of warranty) by the original manufacturer. In the event that factory service is needed, the vendor shall perform the modification reversal at no charge over the useable life of the equipment which shall be no less than three years from date of purchase. The Contractor shall deliver items, FOB Destination, with all freight included in the delivered price, to U.S. Secret Service, Technical Security Division, 843 Brightsear Road (Rear), Landover, Maryland 20785, Attn: Kirk Jennings.
