Evaluation of Tampa Microwave

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command is seeking evaluation services for specific microwave components, including modems and transceivers across multiple frequency bands (Ka, X, and Ku). The solicitation involves procurement of eight iDirect 950 Modem Assemblies (white), one Ka-Band Transceiver, one X-Band Transceiver, and nine Ku-Band Transceivers, along with associated modem repair services. This procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106(b)(l)(i), which allows solicitation from a single source under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Interested firms must communicate their capabilities and interest within three days of the notice's posting, with responses to be submitted directly to Tenisha.b.hampton.civ@us.navy.mil. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, and it is categorized under NAICS code 336999 (All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing) with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 5998. The solicitation is not a competitive quote request, but rather a notice of intent to potentially procure these specialized microwave components. The notice was posted on May 23, 2025, with a response deadline of May 28, 2025, suggesting a very tight turnaround for potential contractors. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement involves multiple electronic equipment components across different frequency bands. The procurement approach suggests a targeted, potentially sole-source acquisition focused on specific technical requirements for microwave and communication equipment evaluation and repair.
