JNWC MXG Signal Generators

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center is procuring four MXG Model N5182B signal generators through solicitation FA9401-25-Q-0065 to support the Joint Navigation Warfare Center's testing operations for advanced 7-element Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas in their anechoic chamber. The signal generators must include extensive specifications such as 5-year extended warranty, frequency range of 9 kHz to 3 GHz, low phase noise capability, high output power, ARB baseband generator with 160 MHz RF bandwidth, upgraded memory to 1 GSa, and multifunction generator capability along with various software licenses for pulse train generation, calibrated AWGN, multi-tone generation, and custom digital modulation. The procurement is being conducted under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and will be evaluated using a lowest price technically acceptable approach, with the government evaluating a minimum of the three lowest-priced offers for technical acceptability. The solicitation was issued on August 6, 2025, with quotes due by August 19, 2025, no later than 1400 hours MST, and quotes must remain valid through September 30, 2025.

This acquisition is designated as a 100% small business set-aside with a size standard of 1,250 employees, ensuring that only qualified small businesses can compete for the contract. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed price arrangement with F.O.B. destination delivery to Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The procurement specifically calls for four units of the MXG Model N5182B signal generators, which are needed because the new CRPA systems operate on three channels (L1, L2, and L5 frequencies) compared to older two-channel systems, requiring additional signal generators beyond the 14 currently in use at the facility. The equipment will include rack mount hardware and startup assistance, with delivery and performance taking place at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico 87117. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation documents, the technical requirements indicate this is a sophisticated procurement for high-end signal generation equipment supporting critical navigation warfare testing capabilities.
