Anritsu Brand Name Network Signal Analyzer

The Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure two Anritsu VNA Master network signal analyzers (Model MS2036C) with Time Domain Option 2, including associated AC/DC power supplies and power cords. This specialized electronic testing equipment will be used to test electronic components for the BRR-6C buoy system on CLB Class submarines, making it critical for Navy operations. The procurement utilizes a brand name justification for Anritsu equipment due to its specific technical requirements, including a frequency range of 5 kHz to 9 GHz, battery operability, and spectrum analyzer capabilities that are essential for the sensitive testing requirements. The solicitation employs a lowest-priced technically acceptable evaluation methodology, where quotes will first be ranked by price and then the lowest-priced submission will undergo technical evaluation. Responses to this combined synopsis/solicitation must be submitted by August 4, 2025, with delivery required by September 12, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334515 with a size standard of 750 employees, though the attached documentation also references it as a Women-Owned Small Business procurement. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price arrangement to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The procurement includes a total of eight items across four line items: two VNA Master analyzers, two Time Domain options, two power supplies, and two power cords. The government's brand name justification indicates they conducted a market survey comparing alternatives from Keysight and HamGeek but determined that only the Anritsu MS2036C meets their specific operational requirements. The requested delivery timeline is five weeks after contract award, reflecting the urgency of this procurement for submarine testing operations.
