About this opportunity
The US Geological Survey's Office of Acquisitions and Grants is conducting market research to determine qualified sources for microwave communication equipment, with responses due May 12, 2026 by 1500 PST. This is a sources-sought announcement, not a request for quote or proposal, and the government is not committed to award. No set-aside applies. NAICS 334220 (small business threshold 1,250 employees) and PSC 7G22 govern the search.
The equipment transmits digitized seismic data from remote collection points to primary and secondary data processing centers in real-time, operating within the NTIA-licensed 7.125–8.500 GHz band. The technical specification requires support for 7 GHz (7.125–7.750 GHz) and 8 GHz (7.750–8.500 GHz) frequency bands with variable channel bandwidths (150, 175, 300 MHz for 7 GHz; 300, 360 MHz for 8 GHz). Equipment must accommodate multiple modulation schemes from QPSK through 4096-QAM in both fixed and adaptive modes, with data transmission capability of 10–940 Mbps per link and up to 5.64 Gbps per node. The system supports TDM (DS1, DS3, OC-3), frame sizes up to 10,000 bytes bidirectional, and radio link aggregation via IEEE 802.1AX LAG and proprietary L1LA.
Power requirements specify three supply options: +24 VDC, −48 VDC, or AC via external converter, consuming 50–150W per indoor unit, with reverse polarity and overvoltage protection and support for redundant supplies. Environmental operation spans 14°F to 131°F at 0–95% non-condensing humidity. Networking must include IPv4/IPv6, VLAN, SNMPv3, HTTPS web interface, SSH, remote over-the-air access, and firmware updates with state-of-health monitoring.
All responsible sources may submit product data sheets electronically to yangzhideng@usgs.gov by the deadline. No hardcopy or web-portal submissions will be accepted.
