About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of 4 Keysight E4438C ESC Vector Signal Generators with specific configuration options to support Prime Mission Equipment test station requirements. The Navy is pursuing sole source procurement from Keysight, the Original Equipment Manufacturer, or its authorized distributors due to the specialized nature of the equipment and critical time constraints, as these specific signal generators are the only qualified test equipment for the PME test station. The justification emphasizes that procuring alternative brands would require extensive research, high costs, and time-consuming software development upgrades, while high-priority backorders create urgency for the acquisition. The procurement consists of 4 units total—2 units with options 401/506/601/UNJ/UN7/UNB and 2 units with a slightly different option set—and is being processed under the simplified acquisition threshold. The contracting officer approved the non-competitive acquisition on April 30, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of July 15, 2025, though the awarded vendor and contract value remain to be determined.
