About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), an office within the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract to Dow-Key Microwave Corporation of Ventura, California on April 15, 2026. This special notice announces the government's intention to award a sole source purchase order for microwave components and related services without conducting a competitive procurement. The opportunity was posted with a brief two-day response window, closing on April 17, 2026. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and will be executed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures per Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13.
The NRL seeks to procure an exclusive licensing agreement for PC05 5401-16X16 microwave components (4 units), along with an evaluation fee and repair services for one unit, with the total purchase not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. Interested parties may challenge the sole source award by submitting written responses that include clear and convincing evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government; however, no reimbursement will be provided for capability submissions. All correspondence must reference the Notice of Intent number N00173-25-Q-1301352501, and responses must be submitted within the posted opening and closing dates. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the sole source award or transition to a competitive procurement based on the merits of any challenges received.
