About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground seeks a vector network analyzer to support research at the Army Research Laboratory. The solicitation requires an analyzer with a frequency range of 10 MHz to 43.5 GHz, including X band and Ka band, with a minimum dynamic range of 128 dB, four ports, and 2.4 mm connectors. Offerors must also provide calibration hardware and software for S-parameter analysis and dielectric property calculation supporting transmission line and free space measurement methods. Proposals are due by September 7, 2023 and will be evaluated for technical acceptability and price.
The solicitation is not set aside and uses NAICS code 334515 with a size standard of 750 employees. The government estimates the contract value at $250,000 and requires delivery within 12 weeks to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Key dates include a deadline of five business days after notice for initial quotes and a revised salient characteristics document dated September 1, 2023.
