SOPS Real Time Spectrum Analyzer

The United States Air Force's 50th Contracting Squadron at Schriever Space Force Base is seeking a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) and associated equipment for the 10th Space Operations Squadron to upgrade obsolete equipment used for radio frequency interference detection and measurement. The RTSA will support operations and maintenance of Fleet Satellite Communications, Ultra-High Frequency Follow-On, Multi User Objective System satellite constellations, and EHF communications systems. The procurement requires one complete system comprised of 12 specific Anritsu equipment items, including a portable spectrum analyzer (MS2090A), interference finder, GNSS receiver, log periodic antenna, and associated cases and accessories, with primary specifications including a frequency range of 3KHz to 9GHz, phase noise of 100dBc/Hz or less, and amplitude accuracy of +/-1.3dB. The government will evaluate vendor submissions based on commercial product brochures and technical documentation, with offers being deemed technically acceptable or unacceptable. Interested firms must submit capabilities packages and technical proposals electronically by August 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time, demonstrating clear compliance with the specifications provided in the Statement of Work.

This opportunity does not have a set-aside designation, but the government is particularly interested in responses from small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small businesses, with the potential for a small business set-aside depending on received responses. The procurement specifically requires all new equipment, with refurbished or used items explicitly rejected, and vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. Delivery is required within 60 days after receipt of order to the 10th Space Operations Squadron at Point Mugu, CA. The government has indicated a preference for vendors offering products equivalent to or better than Anritsu spectrum analyzers, suggesting a brand preference for the specific technical requirements. All standard manufacturer documentation, manuals, and software must be provided at no additional charge, and vendors must coordinate exact delivery dates with the designated government contact.
