The Government requires a Qty of 1 - 4G/5G waveform analysis hardware and software package, accessories, and installation/configuration/technical support.
The Government requires a Qty of 1 - 4G/5G waveform analysis hardware and software package, accessories, and installation/configuration/technical support.
The required specifications for this purchase are as follows:
Ability to perform 3GPP 4G and 5G analysis based on I/Q samples in both real-time and offline.
Ability to capture over-the-air 3GPP 4G and 5G I/Q samples for analysis.
Ability to store 3GPP 4G and 5G I/Q samples in files for subsequent analysis.
Perform 3GPP 4G and 5G radio performance analysis.
Perform 3GPP 4G and 5G radio protocol analysis (MAC, RLC and PDCP) both in real- time and from previously stored I/Q file data.
Perform 3GPP 5G specification measurements in both stand-alone (SA) and non-stand- alone
(NSA) modes.
Ability to support frequencies from 500 MHz - 11 GHz.
Ability to support 3GPP 4G and 5G MIMO radios with up to 800 MHz bandwidths.
See page one.
The brand name products to be acquired are essential to the Government's requirements and other companies' products do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet its needs. Keysight Technologies, Inc is the only source that manufactures this configuration of 4G/5G wireless analysis hardware and software. There are multiple systems currently in use at AFRL under the program. It is important to purchase this Keysight hardware and software to preserve the compatibility with existing systems. This compatibility is obtained by using the existing 4G/5G hardware suites. Keysight is the only known source that can provide this specific radio hardware with the aforementioned

Given this information, the Government has determined that Keysight is the only brand capable of meeting the Government's requirement without the U.S. Air Force experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements.
It is anticipated that the receipt of competitive offers from a SAM.gov solicitation will produce a fair and reasonable offer less than or equal to the Government estimate.

None.
Introduction of similar original equipment manufacturers would introduce a high level of variance imposing a higher risk factor upon the security system. As better technology presents superior solutions in the future, the Government will analyze these changes that may result in a decision to evolve the existing system. No alternative brands can be considered until the entire system, currently characterized by Keysight-branded products, is replaced. The end-user will continue to monitor the market in order to identify opportunities in order to maximize competition in potential future requirements.
