About this opportunity

This notice seeks to procure MobilityEngin 5G RAN software packages from Radisys Corporation to support the Air Force Research Laboratory's 5G testbed. The software is required to maintain compatibility with Radisys hardware already in use at AFRL. Access to the source code for the Radisys software binaries is needed to further AFRL's research and development capabilities. All responses must be submitted by June 22, 2022 to Ashley.Ellinger@us.af.mil for consideration. While other sources may submit proposals, the government anticipates awarding a sole source contract to Radisys by July 28, 2022 given their status as the manufacturer and sole authorized provider of the required source code.

The NAICS code for this procurement is 511210 for wireless telecommunications carriers, with no set-aside designations. Radisys Corporation of Hillsboro, Oregon is identified as the potential incumbent and sole authorized provider of the software source code. The notice does not specify estimated award values or software package quantities.

Notice text

This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 511210 with a small business size standard of $41,500,000.00 in annual receipts.

1000674 - 5GNR SA Intel Sub6Ghz CU (Source)

1000674 - 5GNR SA Intel Sub6Ghz DU Intel CL (Source)

1000674 - 5G SA Intel sub6Ghz CU Advanced – InterRAT HO

The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with:   

Radisys Corporation

8900 NE Walker Road, Suite 130

Hillsboro, Oregon 97006

The Government has determined that no other source has commercial offerings that can meet this requirement. The Radisys hardware system is currently in use at AFRL and the aforementioned software system is required to preserve the compatibility with existing hardware systems. Currently AFRL is operating the Radisys software in binary form at the AFRL as the basis of the 5G testbed and to further Government research and development capabilities, access to the source code for these components is necessary.  Radisys as the manufacturer of the hardware/software, is the only company with access to the source code of their software binaries, and authorized to sell the licenses and providing the source code.

This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to Ashley.Ellinger@us.af.mil. Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements.

Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 28 July 2022.

A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award in accordance with applicable regulation.
