Michell Transmitter

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring Michell transmitters through a combined synopsis/solicitation under Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 12.6 for commercial items. The requirement includes 4 Michell SF82-TX-B3-C2-E2 transmitters and 2 Michell EA2-TX-M12-B3-C1-D1 transmitters with specific technical capabilities including RS485 output and measurement functions. This is an all-or-none procurement where partial quotes will be rejected, and offerors must be Original Equipment Manufacturers, authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers with proof of manufacturer authorization. The contract will be awarded using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method to a single responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to requirements and provides the best value to the government. Quotes must be submitted electronically in PDF or MS Word format by September 4, 2025, with no telephone requests accepted.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all responsible sources registered in the System for Award Management. The solicitation represents a sole source justification based on the specific design requirements of the 123SFL90110-1 Pressure Swing Adsorber Test Bench, which was originally configured to use these exact Michell transmitter models, and deviating from these specifications would compromise the approved test stand configuration. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with delivery scheduled for 8 weeks after contract award. Performance will take place at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Norco, California, where the existing Navy-owned transmitters have become non-functional and are beyond economical repair.
