About this opportunity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD) has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a firm fixed price contract to Rohde & Schwarz for emulator software and hardware upgrades. This notice, posted on May 19, 2025, is specifically for upgrades to Lab 209 related to the Joint Counter Radio-Controller Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) program. The contract will be awarded on a noncompetitive basis under FAR 13.106(b), with the government asserting that Rohde & Schwarz is the only known source capable of meeting their requirements. The procurement will utilize NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and PSC code DA10 for IT and Telecom business application software. The total contract will be a firm fixed price arrangement, negotiated using other than full and open competition procedures under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1).

Interested contractors have until June 2, 2025, at 10 AM EST to respond to this notice and potentially challenge the sole source determination. To be considered, vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit their responses via email to James Ludwick at james.e.ludwick2.civ@us.navy.mil. Any response must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, though the ultimate procurement decision remains solely at the government's discretion. The specific objective is to upgrade a Wideband Radio Communication Tester's software and hardware to match the production environment of Northrup Grumman and other stakeholders, enabling effective testing and verification of improvised explosive device detection and defeat capabilities. Contractors should note that this is a notice of intent, not a request for quotes, and the government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in preparing a response. Oral communications are not acceptable, and all submissions must be in writing with concise documentation demonstrating the vendor's capability.
