Portable Signal Generator Acquisition

The Naval Sea Systems Command is conducting a brand name procurement for portable signal generator equipment necessary for testing electronic equipment at the BRR-6() Land Based Test Site. The solicitation specifically requires two Rohde and Schwarz SMB100B Signal Generator Base Units with accompanying hardware options, including frequency range capabilities of 8 kHz - 1 GHz, high output power, and ultra-high output power capabilities. The procurement is justified as sole-source due to the superior technical capabilities of the R&S equipment compared to alternatives, particularly its higher output power range of 19-34 dBm and advanced modulation capabilities including AM/FM, pulse, and pulse train functions. Contractors must submit firm fixed-price quotations electronically through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module and provide both monthly contract status reports and certificates of compliance as contract deliverables. The solicitation closes on July 24, 2025 at 3:00 PM, with technical points of contact being Brian Lau and Kevin Marchioni from NSWC-PD Code 452.

This opportunity is set aside as a Total Small Business procurement, with the original RFQ indicating it was specifically designated for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) participation. The total estimated contract value is $43,628.94, covering the acquisition of four main equipment items: two signal generator base units, two frequency range modules, two high output power software licenses, and two ultra-high output power modules. The contractor must deliver the equipment within six weeks after contract award, with performance taking place in Philadelphia, PA. The procurement emphasizes the importance of using authorized distributors to mitigate counterfeit risks and ensure proper equipment configuration to meet sensitive delivery timelines for the BRR-6C buoy testing applications on CLB submarines.
