About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA) is conducting a sole source procurement for a Rohde & Schwarz CMA180 Radio Test Set and associated equipment to assess the accuracy of radio test outputs for systems operating in the 100 kHz to 3 GHz range. This combined synopsis/solicitation is being issued as a commercial procurement under FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures, with the government utilizing a firm-fixed price contract structure. The solicitation includes 16 line items covering the base radio test set, various hardware and software options, warranty extensions, calibration coverage, and accessories including spectrum analyzer software, baseband generators, IEEE bus interface, IQ recorder license, and an AF impedance matching unit. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334220 with a size standard of 1,250 employees and falls under PSC category 5895 for miscellaneous communication equipment. Quotations are due by 12:00 PM on July 23, 2025, with an expected delivery timeframe of 8 weeks after contract award and a final delivery requirement no later than September 30, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is being conducted as a sole source acquisition to Rohde & Schwarz USA, Inc., the exclusive manufacturer of the required equipment. The justification for sole source procurement is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as the product is only available directly from the manufacturer with no authorized resellers, which was confirmed through a Request for Information (RFI) issued on April 9, 2025, that resulted in only one response from Rohde & Schwarz. While the total contract value is redacted in the available documentation, the procurement involves a comprehensive radio test set system with multiple sub-items, each carrying 12-month warranties for most components. The place of performance is Camp Pendleton North, California, and the contract will support the Marine Corps' need for advanced radio testing capabilities utilizing digital signal processing and advanced computing technologies.
