About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is seeking to procure Microwave Radio Test Sets (MRTS) through a sole source procurement with Keysight Technologies. The MRTS are specialized N9915A FieldFox systems designed to perform at-platform testing of tactical Satellite Communications (SATCOM) microwave systems, with capabilities for fault isolation tests of radio frequency transmit and receive paths. The procurement will utilize FAR parts 12 and 15 commercial acquisition procedures, with an anticipated solicitation release in April 2025. Interested vendors can contact Contract Specialist Mark Denhup at mark.denhup2@usmc.mil for additional information, with responses due by May 12, 2025. The Marine Corps requires these test sets to be ruggedized, battery-operated, and capable of real-time testing.
The contract will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) terms, featuring a base year and three one-year ordering periods. There are no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, and Keysight Technologies is the only known offeror of the complete MRTS system, including accessories, repair, calibration, and sustainability support. The Marine Corps mandates biannual calibration for both newly acquired and existing MRTS inventory, with potential for more frequent calibration as needed. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement falls under the Computer Systems Design Services NAICS category (541512) and the Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments PSC category (6625). The sole source nature of the contract suggests a highly specialized technical requirement that can only be met by the specified manufacturer.
