Freewave Radio Equipment

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure specific Freewave radio equipment through a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items. The procurement involves 7 FreeWave IOEX-4422 I/O Expansion Modules, 7 Freewave Z9-IO-PE-ZE ZumLink 900 IO units, and 2 ZumLink Z9-PE (4 port) units. This is an all-or-none requirement, meaning partial quotes will be considered unresponsive, and the government will award to a single responsible offeror whose quote is most advantageous based on the criteria in sections L and M of the solicitation. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and can be original equipment manufacturers, authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers. The solicitation requires an authorization letter from the original equipment manufacturer and specifies that only new equipment from the original manufacturer will be accepted. Quotes must be submitted electronically in PDF or MS Word format by May 13, 2025, and must remain valid for a minimum of 30 days.

The solicitation is set aside for total small business participation and will be performed in Norco, California. While specific award value is not detailed, the procurement is categorized under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The equipment is specifically designed to be compatible with existing Wireless Integrated Surveillance Systems (WISS), with the government indicating no immediate plans to compete future contracts for these supplies. Offerors must provide detailed product information, including CAGE code, delivery date/lead time, and pricing for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). The justification documents emphasize that alternative brands would result in substantial duplication of costs and that these Freewave products have been specifically selected, tested, and verified for the intended system. The solicitation follows Federal Acquisition Circular 2020-04 and will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method.
