- Description
- NA The Coastal Systems Station (CSS), Dahlgren Division, NSWC, Panama City, Florida intends to solicit Burnham Polymeric, Inc., 10036 Saratoga Road, South Glen Falls, NY 12803 on a sole source basis for the furnishing of Fiber Optic Marine Cable (FOMC). The government will supply the bare optical fiber and Burnham Polymeric will apply the special high strength coating using their proprietary process. The government does not possess the data necessary to compete this process. Additionally, the government has spent many years attempting to find/establish a process that would yield a FOMC that would withstand the environmental stresses (marine biological attacks (by crustaceans)) imparted in the intended application. Only Burnham Polymeric has been able to develop a process that produces a FOMC that meets all size (38 mil +/- 1 mil) and performance requirements (maximum attenuation p er meter of the coated cable shall be 0.25dB per kilometer at the 1550 nm wavelength, 0.5 dB per kilometer at 1300 nm, and withstand 30 lb. working tensile load with no attenuation degradation), and withstands attack by crustaceans. A three-year term requirements type contract is anticipated. Anuual quantities are estimated at 1.75 million meters of FOMC. Specific delivery requirements will be stated within each order placed under the resultant contract. Projected delivery rate will be up to 40,000 meters per week. Delivery will be the Coastal Systems Station, 6703 W. Highway 98, Panama City, FL 32407-7001, unless otherwise noted in any individual order. NAICS Code 335921 applies. SBA Size Standard is 1000 employees. FSC is 6015.
