About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal has issued a Request for Information (RFI) Special Notice seeking market research data to identify potential sources for a Lab Standard Microphone System. The procurement is managed by the U.S. Army Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment Activity (USATA) and is classified under NAICS Code 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing). This RFI was posted on March 9, 2026, with responses due by April 2, 2026. The notice invites qualified vendors capable of providing brand name equipment or acceptable equivalents to submit their capabilities. Interested parties should direct inquiries to Contracting Officer Lisa S. Armes or Contract Specialist LaToya T. Whitsett via the contact information provided in the solicitation documents.
The primary objective of this market research initiative is to replace three laboratory-grade microphones that were damaged and are essential to the operations of the Acoustics Laboratory at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The required system consists of specific components including a 4180-PTO 1/2" Calibration Condenser Microphone, a 4160-PTO 1" Laboratory Standard Pressure Microphone with associated calibration units, and supporting equipment. Responses must include company information such as business size, socio-economic status, CAGE code, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and points of contact with telephone and email addresses. There are no specified set-aside restrictions for this opportunity, meaning all eligible contractors may compete. This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract, though interested parties are advised to monitor SAM.GOV for any future formal solicitation related to this requirement.
