About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa intends to procure two network testers for close-end and distant-end applications, with a sources-sought notice due July 31, 2026. No set-aside is anticipated.
The network testers must support Ethernet testing from 1G through 400G in a single portable platform, with an upgradeable architecture enabling initial deployment at up to 100G and later software-licensed upgrades to 400G without hardware replacement. Required testing methodologies include EtherBERT/BERT, RFC 2544, ITU-T Y.1564 EtherSAM, RFC 6349, Fibre Channel (1X-32X), and OTN BERT. Hardware must feature automated optical transceiver validation (iOptics) that automatically detects and validates pluggable optics and cables, with broad transceiver compatibility supporting SFP28, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, QSFP112, OSFP, AOC, and DAC cables. The equipment must be portable and rugged for use in data centers, metro/core networks, and 5G transport environments during installation, troubleshooting, maintenance, and service activation. Cloud-enabled reporting integration is required for uploading results, report generation, collaboration, and centralized record management.
