About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research has published a Special Notice for the acquisition of an Optical Modulation Analyzer (OMA) system. The OMA system is a specialized piece of test and measurement equipment used to analyze the performance of 100G and 400G coherent optical transceivers. This Special Notice indicates the government's intent to award a sole source contract to QuantiFi Photonics, a leading vendor of optical modulation analyzers with an exclusive partnership with Tektronix.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to solicit feedback from interested parties on the government's intent to award a sole source contract to QuantiFi Photonics for the OMA system. The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price action awarded under the simplified procedures of FAR 13.5 for commercial products and services. While this is not a request for proposals, interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities within 7 days of the posting. The government will review responses received to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted, though it reserves the right to proceed with the sole source award to QuantiFi Photonics.
Notice text
This is a notice of intent for Other Than Full and Open Competition to enter into a sole source contract with QuantiFi Photonics. QuantiFi Photonics is a leading vendor of optical modulation analyzers that implement intuitive real-time interfaces that enable coherent signal analysis on high-performance real-time oscilloscopes. QuantiFi has an exclusive partnership with Tektronix, who manufactures world-leading real-time oscilloscopes. The QuantiFi VISIQ analysis software is capable of displaying coherent modulation constellations at 100G and 400G, while supporting performance parameter measurement such as error vector magnitude and bit error ratio. The QuantiFi VISIQ software directly interfaces with existing custom software code bases at NRL (written in MATLAB workspaces), which are existing in NRL’s software baseline being brought to this project.
See Attachment for the requirement specifications.
This notice is being published by NRL in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Par 5.201 requiring notice of a proposed contract action. The statutory authority for this sole source action is 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented by FAR 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services. A final, signed J&A document will be uploaded upon award.
The contemplated contract will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) type action. This notice is NOT a request for proposals or competitive offers. However, the Government shall consider all responses received within seven (7) days of this posting. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement.
A determination by the Government to compete, or not, will be based on the responses received, and is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered only for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. NRL is not responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice.
Only submissions to the contracting office POC shall be considered. Please email responses regarding this requirement to Helena Hudson at helena.k.hudson2.civ@us.navy.mil by the response date above.
