Rohde & Schwarz Vector Network Analyzer

The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Corona Division is procuring one Rohde & Schwarz Vector Network Analyzer, specifically the ZNB40-N model with 2 ports, 40 GHz, and 2.92 mm specifications, to update laboratory equipment for calibration efforts supporting the Naval Education Training Command. This sole source procurement is intended as an all-or-none requirement where partial quotes will be deemed unresponsive, and the equipment must be new from the Original Equipment Manufacturer with no secondary or gray market items accepted. Offerors must maintain active SAM registration and be authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers of Rohde & Schwarz equipment, providing proof of manufacturer authorization with their submissions. The procurement will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, awarding to the single offeror who fully complies with solicitation terms and provides the lowest fair and reasonable price. The original response deadline of August 29, 2025 at 12:00 PM has been extended to September 5, 2025 at 12:00 PM through Amendment 0001.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is specifically targeted at Rohde & Schwarz USA, Inc. as the sole source provider based on the government's justification that no other vendor can provide the required calibration standards without causing significant delays to mission readiness and training operations. While no specific contract value is mentioned in the available documents, the equipment falls under Item Unique Identification (IUID) requirements applicable to items valued at $5,000 or more. The Vector Network Analyzer must be delivered within 60 days after contract award using F.O.B. Destination shipping terms. The place of performance is the NATTC Pensacola IMQ Calibration Lab in Pensacola, Florida, where the equipment will replace existing calibration equipment that no longer operates and supports various test measurement and diagnostic equipment owned by the Navy.
