About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps, specifically the Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA), is conducting market research to procure an Audio Analyzer that matches or exceeds the capabilities of the Rohde and Schwarz CMA-180 Radio Test Set. The agency seeks a device capable of integrating with existing Ground Radio Family of Systems, with extensive technical requirements including parallel testing for up to eight bidirectional RF ports, continuous frequency range up to 6 GHz, and RF bandwidth up to 160 MHz. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and comply with Trade Agreement and Buy American Acts. Technical responses must be submitted electronically in PDF format, with a strict deadline of February 24, 2025 at 4:00 PM PST. The evaluation will focus on the device's compatibility, technical specifications, and ability to measure radio output quality, signal characteristics, and audio performance.
The procurement does not have a specific small business or socio-economic set-aside designation and will be classified under NAICS Category 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 5895 (Miscellaneous Communication Equipment). While no specific incumbent is mentioned, the government is seeking a solution that can replace or match the current Rohde and Schwarz system. The contract will require a 1-3 year warranty with recommended 1-2 year calibration coverage. Potential vendors must demonstrate capability to program the device using Python, LabView, and Matlab, and provide comprehensive testing capabilities including battery simulation, spectrum analysis, and report generation. This market research is informational and does not guarantee a subsequent solicitation or contract award, serving primarily to assess market capabilities and potential alternative solutions to the specified radio test equipment.
