- ANUPX-24(V) PowerSandia Replacement Processor RFI This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis. This is NOT a Request for Proposal. The following information is provided to assist the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in conducting market research to identify a suitable replacement processor for the SBS Communications Power SANDIA VME single board computer that is currently in use in the Navy Shipboard IFF System AN/UPX-24(V) F/C 5 and derivative systems. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE, BUT RATHER A REQUEST FOR INFORMAITON from industry that will allow the Government to identify interested sources capable of meeting the requirement. The information sought herein is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a request for proposal (RFP), or as an obligation or commitment on the part of the Government to acquire any product or service. There shall be no basis for claims against the Government as a result of information submitted in response to the RFI. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI, or otherwise pay for any information submitted by respondents to this request. Interested parties are requested to submit a written response that demonstrates the respondents ability to meet the requirements as specified herein. Information shall be submitted to the attention of JoAnn Gough NAWCAD Contracts St Inigoes MD at joann.gough@navy.mil by 2:00 p.m. Thursday July 20 2006. Respondents shall provide a maximum estimated dollar value for purchasing 3 processors that will be used during the processor qualification and software re-hosting period from October 2006 through June 2007. Respondents shall also provide a maximum estimated dollar value for purchasing an additional 300 processors which will be purchased following processor qualification and software re-hosting. Respondents are also requested to provide answers to the following questions that appear below. 1. Which processor from your production line would you recommend to meet the above requirements? 2. Can you modify the printed circuit board layout of the processor you are recommending to meet our VME P2, VME P0, PMC Slot 1 to P2, and PMC Slot 2 to P0 I/O requirements? 3. Which version of VxWorks is your Board Support Package (BSP) written for? 4. Which version of Tornado is your BSP written for? 5. Do we get the source code for your BSP? 6. Is there any hardware on your board that cannot be accessed via the VxWorks API and must be accessed via the BSP directly? If so identify that hardware. 7. What is the cost of your BSP? 8. Do you have any BSPs developed for this processor that run on a POSIX operating system that is POSIX profile 53 or 54 conformant? 9. What do you estimate the cost will be for re-laying out the printed circuit board of the processor you are recommending so that it will meet our VME P2, VME P0, PMC Slot 1 to P2, and PMC Slot 2 to P0 I/O requirements? 10. What do you estimate the total cost of the modified processor will be? 11. How many of the base style processor (same processor without our unique VME P2, VME P0, PMC Slot 1 to P2, and PMC Slot 2 to P0 I/O requirements) have you sold and who are your customers that are currently using this processor? 12. What environmental qualifications for the recommended board can you supply, analytical data or actual test data? Description NAWCAD requires that the replacement processor meet the requirements listed below: PowerPC based architecture processor. VME64x compliant. Form factor shall be Eurocard 6U x 160 mm format and the width shall be 1H. Must match the existing VME P2, VME P0, PMC Slot 1 to P2, and PMC Slot 2 to P0 I/O and connector requirements (see Existing P2, P0, and PMC Input, Output, and Connector Requirements, Table 1 and Table 2 below for details). PCI/VMEbus bridge that is VME64x compliant. 10/100 Mbps Ethernet available via the front panel and the P0 connector. A SCSI Controller with a SCSI Fast-20 interface capable of transferring 20 MB/sec in synchronous mode, and 15 MB/sec in asynchronous mode available via the P2 connector. Two standard serial ports (COM1 available via the front panel and P2 connector and COM2 available via the P2 connector). One parallel port available via the P2 connector. Non-Volatile Real Time Clock. Non-Volatile RAM of at least 32K. At least 128MB of 60nsec RAM. At least 512KB L2 Cache. Two sets of Bootable Flash one at least 512KB, and the other at least 1 MB x 64 bit. The VME P1 connector shall follow the VME64x standard. Ability to meet the Power Requirements (see Power Requirements below). Availability of an extended temperature and/or military grade version of the processor. Must have a Board Support Package (BSP) developed for their processor that is certified for use with WindRiver's Tornado development environment version 2.0.2 and later and VxWorks version 5.4 and later. For Informational Purposes WindRiver?s web site, http://www.windriver.com/products/bsp_web/bsp_intro.html defines their BSP certification levels. Power Requirements 1. The replacement processor shall consume no more than 3.0 amps of current from the +5Vdc (VCC) supply from the VME bus. 2. The replacement processor shall consume no more than 0.1 amps of current from the +12Vdc supply from the VME bus. 3. The replacement processor shall not draw any current from the ?12Vdc supply for its own operation and shall pass the ?12Vdc supply through to the PMC expansion slots. 4. The replacement processor shall not draw any current from the +3.3Vdc supply for its own operation and shall pass the +3.3Vdc supply through to the PMC expansion slots. Existing P2, P0, and PMC Input, Output, and Connector Requirements The replacement processor candidates shall have 2 PMC expansion slots with the PMC expansion slot 1 wired to the VME64x P2 connector and PMC expansion slot 2 wired to the VME64X P0 connector. Both PMC slots shall have 3 associated connectors. J11 and J12 (slot 1) and J21 and J22 (slot 2) conforming to IEEE 1386.1. PMC connectors J14 (slot 1) and J24 (slot 2) are used to accommodate signal I/O. The two PMC Slots that conform to IEEE standards P1386 and P1386.1. The replacement processor shall allow single and double width PMC expansion boards to be plugged into the PCI bus via the J11, J12, J14 (slot 1) or J21, J22, J24 (slot 2) connectors. The PMC I/O signals shall be routed to the VME P2 and P0 connectors as given in Tables 1 and 2.
