About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD), operating under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for a Radio Frequency Harmonic Mixer procurement. This is not a request for quotes, but rather a formal notification that the agency intends to award a firm fixed-price contract on a noncompetitive basis to Rohde & Schwarz USA, Inc. The procurement involves upgrading government-owned spectrum analyzer equipment to enhance RF laboratory capabilities, specifically to function at the 110 GHz level. The contract is being pursued under FAR 13.106(b) sole source authority, with the justification that Rohde & Schwarz is the only known source capable of meeting the government's specialized requirements. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and FSC code 6625.
The primary objective is to retrofit a government-owned Rohde & Schwarz FSW67 spectrum analyzer with LO/IF connections for external mixers, perform calibration and operational testing, and provide a new 50 GHz to 75 GHz harmonic mixer with separate IF and LO ports. This upgrade is critical for NSWC IHD's W34 Applied Energetics & Detection Systems Branch RF lab capabilities and represents part of a larger $1.5M contract for RF lab improvements. Interested parties have until August 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST to submit responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and must submit responses via email to the designated contracting officer. The performance period is 60 days from contract award, and the government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by parties responding to this notice.
