The equipment is required to support maintenance operations on NAVAIDS systems, including localizer, glideslope, and TACAN systems, as well as C-sUAS (Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems) maintenance. Keysight Technologies has been identified as the sole source capable of meeting the government's stringent technical requirements, which include vector network analyzer capabilities, spectrum analysis, TDR cable measurements, USB power sensor support, and vendor maintenance support. The government conducted market research through vendor outreach and subject matter expert consultation and determined that no equivalent vendors meet the strict technical standards necessary for mission-critical maintenance and troubleshooting. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation by April 16, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST, with the government retaining sole discretion to determine whether to compete the action based on responses received.
This procurement carries no set-aside designations, and the contract will be awarded to Keysight Technologies as the determined sole source. The bill of materials specifies one FieldFox N9913C Network Analyzer unit with multiple options including Vector Network Analyzer transmission/reflection (Option-210), full 2-port parameters (Option-211), TDR cable measurements (Option-215), Spectrum Analyzer (Option-233), USB power sensor support (Option-302), and Vector Voltmeter (Option-308), along with one Calibration Kit (855191A) and one USB Power Sensor 10MHz-6GHz (U2061XA). The specific contract value is redacted from the justification document, and the purchase request number is F4FTAN6065AW01 under contracting activity AFLCMC/PZITB. Performance will take place at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 45433. The contracting officer made the sole source determination on March 27, 2026, and a pre-award synopsis has been posted to SAM.gov on April 1, 2026.
