About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), under the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, issued a sole source justification notice on April 28, 2026, for the acquisition of specialized analog-to-digital converters (digitizers) from Spectrum Instrumentation Corporation to support quantum sensor network research and development. The contract, designated FA875126P0013, involves the procurement of Spectrum Instrumentation Digitizer NETBOX units that must meet rigorous technical specifications including 16-bit or higher resolution, high-speed digitization capabilities, minimum 50 MHz measurement bandwidth, BNC microwave connectors, ethernet interface, and standalone portable module configuration for integration into prototype quantum homodyne measurement modules. The Air Force determined that the Spectrum Instrumentation Digitizer NETBOX is the sole available product capable of simultaneously satisfying all required specifications, as confirmed through market analysis including a Pre-Solicitation Notice posted from February 26 to March 13, 2026, which yielded only one response that failed to meet stated requirements. The justification was supported by competitive evaluations demonstrating that alternative ADC products lack required bit depth, are available only as chassis cards, feature insufficient sampling rates, or have inadequate bandwidth. The specific award amount and quantity of digitizers were not disclosed in the published notice, though the contracting officer is responsible for ensuring fair and reasonable pricing in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation standards.
