About this opportunity

The Office of Naval Intelligence within the Department of Defense has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of TEMPEST equipment under a sole source acquisition. The government intends to negotiate exclusively with Rohde & Schwarz, USA, Inc. under Federal Acquisition Regulation authorities that permit single source procurements. This is structured as a Firm Fixed Price contract for specialized equipment essential to the continued development of the Navy's TEMPEST Program. The procurement carries NAICS code 518210 for Computing Infrastructure Providers and will be performed at the Office of Naval Intelligence facility in Washington, DC. The notice was posted on September 12, 2025, with a response deadline of September 16, 2025.

The primary objective is to acquire specialized TEMPEST testing equipment capable of measuring and analyzing unintentional electromagnetic emissions from electronic devices to identify potential security vulnerabilities. The equipment kit includes sophisticated components such as an FPH Handheld Spectrum Analyzer, HE400W Antenna systems, SMB100B Analog Signal Generator, and associated transport cases. While this is published as an informational notice for a sole source procurement, the government will consider any competitive quotations received, though conducting a competitive procurement remains at the government's discretion. The acquisition is justified due to the unique nature of the specialized equipment requirements and the pressing need to maintain critical TEMPEST Program accreditations across the Navy Enterprise. Contractors interested in responding must comply with various FAR and DFARS clauses related to telecommunications equipment, COVID-19 safety protocols, and electronic parts sourcing requirements.
