Broadband Power Amplifier (Model 176X/Ku) Supply

The contract is for the procurement of five base units and up to five additional optional units of the Model 176X/Ku Broadband Power Amplifiers, intended to support wideband signal testing at the Sea Systems Engineering and Evaluation Facility. These amplifiers are critical components for enabling high-fidelity signal generation and propagation testing in advanced defense and maritime systems. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the NAICS code 334511, which classifies the manufacturing of communication equipment, and is managed by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, a component of the Department of Defense. The place of performance is designated as Newport, with a zip code of 02841, indicating that delivery and integration will occur at or near the facility where the testing infrastructure is located. The opportunity was posted on July 16, 2026, with a response deadline set for July 23, 2026, at 6:00 PM, providing a narrow window for potential suppliers to submit proposals. No specific set-aside designation or organizational type constraints are indicated, meaning the contract is open to qualified vendors without preference for small business or other categories. The lack of a solicitation number and point of contact suggests that further details may be accessible only through the provided SAM.gov link, and that bidders are expected to review the full solicitation documents on the platform for technical specifications, delivery timelines, and compliance requirements. The inclusion of optional units introduces flexibility in volume, allowing the government to adjust procurement based on test schedule needs or funding availability after initial base unit delivery.
