About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to procure two RF 16x16 IF distributive matrix switches, specifically the ETL Systems, Inc. Victor Matrix model VTR-71-B5B5-1616, for its GOES Spectrum Monitoring and Control system at the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station. This is a brand-specific procurement due to existing custom LabVIEW software developed exclusively for this matrix switch, with no substitutes permitted. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) #1332KP25Q0018 will be evaluated using a Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, focusing on technical acceptability and price. Potential vendors must submit their quotations via email to Lillie Joseph and Mario Gray by 11:59 PM EST on May 28, 2025, with questions accepted until May 22, 2025. Quoters are required to provide a technical description demonstrating original equipment manufacturer (OEM) authorization.
The solicitation is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS category 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals), with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The procurement is for a firm-fixed-price contract with an anticipated delivery timeline of 60 days after award. The switches will be delivered to NOAA's Consolidated Backup facility located in Fairmont, West Virginia, and will come with a standard 12-month warranty. While no specific incumbent or current contractor is mentioned, the contract is specifically tailored to interface between GOES intermediate frequency distribution switches and a rack-mounted spectrum analyzer. The unique nature of the procurement means that alternative manufacturers would require a complete software rewrite, potentially causing significant operational disruption and unnecessary costs to the government.
Notice text
This Solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) #1332KP25Q0018 for Two (2) RF 16 x 16 IF
distributive matrix switches/ Extended L-band Victor Matrix. P/N: VTR-71-B5B5-1616,
Manufacturer: ETL Systems Inc., to provide the required switching interface between the GOES
intermediate frequency distribution switches (RIFDS, TIFDS, RXDS, TXDS) and the rackmounted
spectrum analyzer. This requirement is a brand name requirement for the
existing GOES Spectrum Monitoring and Control system. This system utilizes custom
LabVIEW-based software that was developed on-site at WCDAS specifically for use
with ETL Systems, Inc., matrix switch P/N: VTR-71-B5B5-1616. Acquisition of any
other make or model matrix switch would require a complete re-write of the existing
LabVIEW software, resulting in unnecessary cost to the government and significant
operational downtime of the monitoring system. No substitutes allowed. (see attached solicitation for additional information)
