About this opportunity
The Federal Communications Commission intends to solicit a single firm-fixed-price purchase order for eight unique RF filter models manufactured by VIAVI Solutions Inc., totaling 96 units (12 of each model), with quotations due by 3:00 p.m. EST on September 17, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 334220.
The procurement is justified as brand-name, sole-source under FAR 6.103-1; VIAVI Solutions is the only manufacturer capable of producing fixed-band RF filters meeting the precise passband, attenuation, and rejection characteristics required for cellular (4G/5G) frequency field investigative operations. The FCC Enforcement Bureau has validated the effectiveness of two currently owned models in past investigations.
The eight filter models cover distinct frequency bands: G700050601 (696–716 MHz), G700050602 (776–788 MHz), G700050603 (806–849 MHz), G700050604 (1710–1755 MHz), G700050605 (1850–1910 MHz), G700050606 (703–748 MHz), G700050611 (2500–2570 MHz), and G700050613 (3300–3800 MHz). All units must meet specified insertion loss (maximum 2.5–4.0 dB depending on model), minimum attenuation (40–60 dBc), and out-of-band rejection requirements, operate across −10 to +65°C, feature N-type connectors and 50 Ohm impedance, and include individual test reports and Certificates of Conformance. Expected lead time is six weeks after order receipt.
The estimated acquisition value is at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($55,000). The evaluation will use Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology. All responsible sources must be registered in SAM and submit quotations to priscilla.cruz@fcc.gov.
