The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to procure on a sole source basis an Aeroflex portable broadband signal system (BSS) from Aeroflex, 10411 Budd Road, Cupertino, California 95014.



The basis for the sole source is that the BSS must be compatible with Government performance specifications that allow for programmable signal synthesis features that are unavailable from any other manufacturer in the microwave signal source industry.

The digital synthesis DAC hardware and software are key patented and copyright protected design elements that are integral to BSS unit operation and these proprietary components are essential for meeting the necessary performance specifications.

The Government reserves the right to award on an all or none basis. A firm fixed price contract is anticipated with an award date on or before 28 March 2013. Interested parties shall contact the Contract Specialist at (540) 653-7039 or teresa.spiker@navy.mil.
