Item 0002 The following information is provided to do a Market Survey of Industry to determine potential contractors, in addition to Cincinnati Electronics, who have the skills, experience and knowledge required to successfully provide this item. Command receiver decoders are required on all missile test flights. These units are an integral part of the destruct system and will destroy the missile should it deviate from the preassigned flight path. These units have special qualification requirements because of their safety critical mission. Sources must be pre-qualified to supply this item. Any source desiring to pre-qualify must perform qualification testing through Vandenberg AFB Range Safety. Any new manufacturer of airborne flight safety equipment must perform a full qualification test on every component. To qualify the command receiver must meet the following Quality Assurance Provision requirements: (1) meet the acceptance requirement of paragraph 4 of Boeing drawing number 10-22493, para 4.1.1, 4.3 and 4.4.1 to include receiver carrier frequency of +10 kHz, carrier deviation maximum of +30 kHz per tone. (2) meet the performance electrical test of 10-22493, para 4.4.2 and sub paragraphs to include critical areas which are destructive output characteristics, EMI, reliability requirements, transient response and receiver decoder noise immunity. (3) meet the non-operating and operating environment test. Critical areas include temperature-altitude, shock and vibration spectrum performance, chassis sealing, acceleration and drop. (4) meet the requirements of para 4.2.3.1 by performing the tests in the following sequence: (a) acceptance, (b) EMI, Non-operating (humidity may be last), (d) Operating (shock and vibrato). Qualification through inspection and testing must be performed on the component to ensure that all specifications are met, interfaces are compatible with the next higher assembly and the item functions with reliance. The contractor shall be responsible for providing evidence of technical expertise and Minuteman guidance system experience to demonstrate adequate capability exists to manufacture these items. Qualification costs are the responsibility of the contractor. The government does not intend to contract on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for the information solicited.
