Communication Service Monitor

The National Park Service is seeking to procure a Communications Service Monitor, specifically a Viavi Solutions CX300 Communications Service Monitor or equivalent, along with associated accessories and support services to support the United States Park Police. The procurement includes 14 line items covering the monitor itself, warranties, testing capabilities, cables, antennas, batteries, and various accessories, with the primary device required to be portable (under 20 pounds) and capable of auto-testing and aligning Motorola APX radios for both conventional and P25 Phase 2 Trunking operations. The government will evaluate offers using a Best Value Tradeoff process based on two primary factors: conformance with minimum specifications (brand-name or equal) and price schedule, with non-price factors considered significantly more important than price. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit quotes electronically to the Contracting Officer Michelle Shoshone at michelle_shoshone@nps.gov. The solicitation was posted on September 2, 2025, with quotes due by September 4, 2025 at 7:00 AM Eastern Time, providing an extremely short response window of just two days.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Total Small Business Set Aside under NAICS code 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) with a size standard of 750 employees, and the government has indicated that the set-aside will only proceed if at least two small businesses respond with supporting information. The solicitation particularly encourages participation from various socio-economic small business categories including 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantaged Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns. The contract is anticipated to be awarded as a firm-fixed price arrangement, though specific budget amounts are not disclosed in the available documents. Delivery is required within 90 calendar days after receipt of order, with the equipment to be delivered to the United States Park Police Property Office in Washington, DC. The procurement includes a comprehensive three-year total hardware warranty covering certified calibrations, loaner equipment, and accessory coverage as part of the overall support package.
