VHF, UHF and S-Band S4 scintillation indices  and RMS dispersive-phase fluctuations computed in 10 second blocks. Data  quality flags. Satellite azimuth & elevation. Coordinates for 350-km and 110- km penetration points (h) Signal to Noise Ratio (at 50 sps): 28 to 46 dB  typical for OSCAR type satellites in quiet site environment (i) Dispersive- Phase Precision (at 50 sps): 53 mrad to 580 mrad depending on elevation to  satellite (j) Satellite Selection Software: Two Line Elements (TLEs) supplied  by user allows the receiver to search and record signals from satellites (k)  Station Operation: Automatic, Continuous and Unattended and (l) Systems  Components: Receiver, Computer, Antenna Preamplifier, Cables, Connectors.  Delivery and acceptance is at NRL, Washington, D.C. 20375, FOB Destination.  Delivery shall be no later than 120 days from date of award. The provision at  52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial, applies to this acquisition.  The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items is incorporated.  The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to  that responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the  most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The  following factors shall be used to evaluate the offers: (1) Technical Merit:  The technical capability of the offeror to meet the requirement of the  Government (2) Price and (3) Past Performance: Past performance will be  evaluated on the basis of the quality of the work performed or supplies  delivered and timeliness of performance or delivery. The evaluation will be  based on the information provided in the proposal and other sources if  available. The evaluation will take into account past performance information  regarding predecessor companies, or subcontractors that will perform major or  critical aspects of the requirement. Technical Merit and Past Performance when  combined are significantly more important than price. Offeror must complete the following electronic annual representations and  certifications via the Online Representations and Certifications Application  (ORCA) at htt
