Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRMM120DWA01

This indefinite delivery contract awarded by the U.S. Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command to Rohde & Schwarz USA, Inc. is for the procurement of spectrum analyzers and related electronic test and measurement equipment. The prime contractor, Rohde & Schwarz USA, is a subsidiary of the German electronics company Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG. The contract has a ceiling value of $10,753,125 and a period of performance through July 2025. Multiple delivery orders have been issued against this contract vehicle, valued at between $11,398 and $1,960,456, with place of performance in Columbia, Maryland. The spectrum analyzers and other electronic equipment acquired under this contract support the Navy's maintenance, testing, and evaluation of communications, electronic warfare, and other mission-critical systems and platforms. The Naval Supply Systems Command manages logistics and supply chain services for the Navy and Marine Corps, making this contract a key mechanism to fulfill the agency's requirements for specialized test and measurement instrumentation.

This contract was originally marketed through a sources sought notice in 2019 seeking capable suppliers of microwave spectrum analyzers to support a 5-year IDIQ acquisition. While no set-aside was used, the government indicated a preference for small businesses at that time. The final award in 2020 went to the large, foreign-owned firm Rohde & Schwarz USA, demonstrating the specialized technical capabilities required to meet the Navy's needs for this type of electronic test equipment. The delivery orders issued to date suggest this contract is focused on providing the Naval Supply Systems Command with a reliable source of high-quality spectrum analyzers and related calibration/maintenance services to enable effective operation and sustainment of the Navy's electronic systems.
