About this opportunity

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) within the Department of the Navy is procuring a comprehensive FieldFox Microwave Analyzer system and related equipment from Keysight Technologies, including a 44GHz Microwave Analyzer, Vector Network Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer, Noise Source, Power Sensor, Preamp Unit, and Calibration Kit totaling 19 individual components. This sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 requires new equipment only with full manufacturer warranty, and vendors must be authorized OEM dealers, distributors, or resellers with proper documentation. The solicitation follows FAR 13.003(b)(1) procedures on a firm fixed-price basis, with evaluation conducted using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable criteria where offers are ranked by price and subjected to technical evaluation in ascending price order. All quotations must be submitted via email to Purchasing Agent Yina Brooks at yina.brooks.civ@us.navy.mil, and offerors must include their CAGE code, manufacturer name, and country of origin. The response deadline is August 12, 2025 at 11:00 AM, just five days after the August 7, 2025 posting date.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 334515 with a size standard of 750 employees, though there appears to be a discrepancy as the attached government file indicates it may also be a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside. The contract requires delivery by November 19, 2025 to the NRL Pomonkey facility in La Plata, Maryland. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the solicitation notice, the procurement encompasses 19 individual line items of sophisticated microwave and electronic testing equipment, each priced individually under the firm fixed-price arrangement. The solicitation explicitly prohibits remanufactured or "gray market" items and requires all software licensing, warranty, and service to comply with OEM terms and conditions. Performance will take place at the La Plata, Maryland location, and any maintenance renewals must begin on or after the contract award date without backdating.

The government intends to award a purchase order as a result of this solicitation that will include the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Award may be made without discussions or negotiations; therefore, prospective contractors should have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database (www.sam.gov) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 4.1102 and Part 52.204-7 when submitting a response to this solicitation.

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Lowest Price Technically Acceptable - Offers will be ranked lowest to highest according to price. A price analysis will be conducted to determine whether the lowest price will result from a single award or multiple awards. Based on the price analysis, the lowest price offer or multiple offers, will be forwarded to the requiring activity for technical evaluation (offer(s), in accordance with the specifications, will be deemed either technically acceptable or technically unacceptable). If the lowest price offer or offers is found technically acceptable and the pricing determined fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer, evaluation will be deemed complete and award will be made based on the lowest price offer(s). If the lowest price offer is determined technically unacceptable, another analysis will be conducted amongst the remaining offers to determine if a single or multiple awards will provide the lowest price.  The lowest price offer(s) will be sent for technical evaluation. This process is repeated in order of price until an offer or combination of offers is deemed technically acceptable and price is determined fair and reasonable.

Options. When applicable, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

Terms and Conditions. To facilitate the award process, all quotes must include a statement regarding the terms and conditions herein as follows:

"The terms and conditions in the solicitation are acceptable to be included in the award document without modification, deletion, or addition."

OR

"The terms and conditions in the solicitation are acceptable to be included in the award document with the exception, deletion, or addition of the following:"

Exceptions. Offeror shall list exception(s) and rationale for the exception(s).

Submission shall be received not later than the response date listed above. Late submissions shall be treated in accordance with the solicitation provision at FAR 52.212-1(f). E-mailed submissions are accepted and are the preferred form of submission. Receipt will be verified by the date/time stamp on fax or e-mail.
