About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command seeks procurement of one Keysight Technologies Model N5183B MXG X-Series Microwave Analog Signal Generator under a brand-name-only basis, with proposals due July 23, 2026. The procurement is a 100% small business set-aside and proceeds as a sole source under FAR 11.204, with no alternatives or "equal" brands accepted.
Place of performance is Luke Air Force Base, Arizona (14185 Falcon St, Luke AFB, AZ 85309). The signal generator is a critical component of the FOC Niner Threat Emitter Program and must deliver frequency range of 9 kHz to 31.5 GHz, fast frequency switching, narrow pulse modulation, high output power with step attenuator to 115 dB in 0.01 dB steps, and pulse capability to 100 nanosecond pulse duration with 1 microsecond minimum pulse repetition interval. The equipment includes perpetual software license with 3-year manufacturer warranty. Delivery is requested by July 31, 2026.
The justification for sole-source procurement asserts that the FOC NINER program's established test environment exclusively utilizes Keysight signal analyzers and generators; introducing alternative equipment would invalidate previous test results and require costly re-validation with 6–8 months of schedule delays. A market survey conducted in April 2026 found no other manufacturers' signal generators fully compatible with the existing Keysight-based test environment. Award will be made to the responsible offeror offering lowest evaluated price on a pass-fail basis without tradeoffs. NAICS code is 334515 with size standard of 750 employees. PSC is 6625. Contracting officer is Kristie Canterbury (GS-13); ombudsman is Lt. Col. Barbara Divine at 210-652-7822. Quotes must remain firm through September 30, 2026 unless market volatility prevents such pricing stability.
