Harmonic Recording Hardware

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure Harmonic Recording Hardware through a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items. The procurement involves various telecommunications hardware components from Harmonic Inc., including MediaCenter software, server chassis, hard drives, licenses, and network equipment. This is an all-or-none requirement, meaning partial quotes will be deemed unresponsive and will not be evaluated. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and be either Original Equipment Manufacturers, authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers with proper authorization documentation. The solicitation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, with award to be made to a single responsible offeror whose quote fully complies with solicitation terms and is determined fair and reasonable. Quotes are due by May 30, 2025, and must be submitted electronically in PDF or MS Word format, with a minimum validity period of 30 days from the solicitation closing.

The solicitation is set aside for total small businesses and is categorized under NAICS 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The procurement is specifically for the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Corona, California, with a delivery destination in Norco, CA. The acquisition includes 14 different line items, such as 2 MediaCenter 2200D auxiliary software packages, 2 chassis with 12x 8TB HDDs, core software licenses, Spectrum X core software, AVC play and record licenses, and various hardware components. Harmonic Inc. is identified as the only brand capable of meeting the government's minimum needs due to compatibility requirements with existing systems and cybersecurity protocols. The total acquisition will be funded by Fiscal Year 2025 funds, using simplified acquisition procedures, with a 30-day delivery timeframe for all items. Market research has identified three authorized Harmonic resellers, and the government will continue to explore potential future competition sources.
