Siemens ECS Network Tech Refresh

The Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting quotes via RFQ N6449823Q5061 for 244 Siemens Scalance XC-206 network switches, 52 Siemens Scalance XM-408 network switches, and 492 Siemens fiber-optic extension modules. Quotes are required to provide only Siemens brand products, and vendors must certify as an authorized Siemens dealer. Quotes will be evaluated for lowest price among technically acceptable offers with award made on that basis. Quotes are due by April 14, 2023 and shall be submitted electronically to the point of contact.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. The goods will support engineering control system technology refresh aboard USS Zumwalt (DDG1000) class ships. The justification and approval estimates the value at $393,681 to be delivered within six weeks of award. As a sole source procurement, only Siemens brand equipment is acceptable due to technical compatibility and interoperability requirements with the existing control system. Market research found that equipment from other manufacturers could not meet technical needs or be modified to do so without increased costs and schedule risks.
