AI Summary
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) N0042126Q1168 for the upgrade of Dell OptiPlex Micro Desktop CPUs and associated components. This RFQ is not a small business set-aside. The purpose of this upgrade is to replace older CPUs in the Atlantic Test Range's (ATR) RF Signature Branch, which maintains 14 ViaSat 3414 pedestal systems. These new Dell Micro CPUs will interface the Antenna Control Unit (ACU) to the Atlantic Test Range Operational Network (ARON) and the Multiple Instrument Positioning System (MIPS), providing an improved Graphic Interface Unit (GUI) for the ACU. The upgraded CPUs offer increased processor power, memory, and computing power to reduce processing delay time for Navy's RDT&E flight test requirements. The deliverables include 13 Dell Pro Micro Desktops with Intel Core Ultra 7 processors, 1 Dell Pro Micro Desktop with an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, and 14 Dell OptiPlex Micro Vertical Stands. The delivery is scheduled for June 1, 2026, to align with a lull in the Flight Test Schedule. Inspection and acceptance for all items will occur at the destination, NAWCAD in Patuxent River, MD. The technical point of contact for inspection is Jeremy Stampfly.
