Award Notice for Near Field Range Upgrade

Contract W51AA1-26-P-A067 is a non-competitive, firm-fixed-price award valued at 502,000 dollars granted to NSI-MI Technologies Inc. for the upgrade of the Near-Field Range at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania. The project focuses on augmenting existing infrastructure to enable vertical cylindrical near-field measurements for C5ISR systems. Key deliverables include the procurement, installation, and calibration of an azimuth antenna positioner, antenna range controllers, RF absorber paneling, an equipment controller workstation, cabling, and proprietary measurement software. The contract was awarded as a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.103-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because NSI-MI Technologies is the only responsible source capable of providing the necessary proprietary hardware and software to ensure native interfacing with existing architecture. The period of performance runs from June 19, 2026, through January 19, 2027, with most equipment deliveries expected by December 19, 2026. Final inspection and acceptance will be conducted by the government at the Tobyhanna Army Depot destination based on functional performance and technical conformance.
