Vector network analyzer

The Naval Sea Systems Command is conducting a sources sought announcement for maintenance and calibration services for vector network analyzer equipment, specifically seeking information from potential contractors who can service equipment covered in the attached Statement of Work. This pre-solicitation notice is issued by the Service Contract Division at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, and is intended solely for information gathering and planning purposes rather than as a formal request for proposals. The government intends to utilize FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition procedures to establish a firm fixed-price contract for these specialized electronic equipment repair and maintenance services. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a size standard of $34 million. Interested parties must respond by July 8, 2025, and must be registered in the System for Award Management database to be eligible for any potential future contract award.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is specifically sole-sourced to Rohde & Schwarz, with the government stating that no other bids will be accepted from alternative vendors. The announcement includes a sole source justification memo that presumably details the rationale for restricting competition to this single contractor. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the sources sought notice, the referenced size standard of $34 million provides context for the scale of potential awards under this NAICS classification. The government has made clear that this announcement does not constitute a commitment to award a contract and that no payment will be made for information submitted in response to this sources sought request. Contractors interested in demonstrating their capabilities must ensure compliance with federal registration requirements and certify that they are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to receive federal contracts.
