JA - Midwest Microwave Solutions_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (Sole Source Justification) from the Naval Research Laboratory for procuring three to fifteen Midwest Microwave Solutions WRX-8800-200 Eight Channel Wideband Digital Receivers. The total estimated contract value is $1,819,500, with a six-month delivery timeline for units purchased in the base year and two additional years.

The justification indicates that Midwest Microwave Solutions is the sole vendor capable of providing a digitizer compatible with the 3dB Labs MONARCH system, featuring 8 independently tunable channels across a 40/100/200 MHz bandwidth. A market survey was conducted involving vendors like Mercury Systems, Cross Technologies, and Leonardo DRC, but Midwest Microwave Solutions was determined to be the only vendor meeting the specific technical requirements. A synopsis was posted on SAM.gov for ten days, with Quadyster being the only respondent and found not capable of supplying the required hardware.
