PortaPAN-Intent to Award Sole Source

Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARFORSOC), operating under the United States Special Operations Command, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source purchase order to Spanalytics, LLC for specialized equipment. The procurement involves a proprietary spectrum analyzer with advanced WiFi, Bluetooth, and IoT analysis capabilities, including direction finding, fixing, and locating antennas, as well as packet analysis and wireless technology identification functions. The equipment is categorized under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing and falls under PSC 5820 for Radio and Television Communication Equipment. The notice was posted on July 30, 2025, with the same date serving as the response deadline. The equipment will be delivered to Stone Bay Rifle Range in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide advance notification of MARFORSOC's intention to proceed with a sole source acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which permits single-source procurement when only one vendor can reasonably provide the required solution. Interested vendors have until July 30, 2025, to contact the designated contracting official if they believe they can provide equivalent capabilities or wish to express interest in the procurement. The sole source justification indicates this acquisition is being pursued due to the proprietary nature of the required spectrum analysis technology and the specific technical requirements that can only be met by the identified vendor. Any contractors wishing to challenge the sole source determination or demonstrate their ability to meet the technical specifications must respond before the notice expires on the same day it was posted. The procurement represents MARFORSOC's need for specialized communications intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities to support special operations missions.
