AI Contract Overview
This solicitation seeks commercial spectrum analyzers under a combined synopsis and request for quote (RFQ) numbered FA930226Q0096, issued under RFO Part 12 procedures with no separate written solicitation. The acquisition employs a Best Value Tradeoff approach where technical acceptability is the primary evaluation factor, and price is secondary; failure to fully meet all technical requirements detailed in Attachment 1 will render an offer non-responsive. The technical specification demands include a built-in SCPI recorder as a mandatory feature to enable automated test environment development without requiring unavailable software engineering resources, as the absence of this capability would cause unacceptable delays and jeopardize the program’s Initial Operational Capability deadline. The period of performance is 12 months from award, with deliveries FOB destination, and all offers must include complete contractor information including SAM UEI, TIN, CAGE code, warranty, payment terms, point of contact, and a certification for exemption from Service Contract Labor Standards. Offers must be submitted via email as single PDF files not exceeding 10 MB, with an SF1449 form optionally attached, and must include all applicable RFO provisions and clauses referenced from Acquisition.gov. No negotiations are anticipated, and bids must reflect the offeror’s best terms upfront. The solicitation closes on August 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, with no late submissions accepted, and inquiries must be submitted by August 6, 2026 at 9:00 AM PDT to the designated point of contact. Submissions must be emailed to both Carmen Barahona and Falilou Diouck at their government email addresses. The North American Industry Classification System code is 334515, with a size standard of 750 employees, and no set-aside is in effect. The government reserves the right to request clarifications but will not engage in price or technical negotiations; awards will be made to the responsible offeror deemed to provide the best value based on technical superiority first, then price. Failure to provide any required documentation, including the SCPI recorder functionality or the certification for labor standards exemption, will result in the offer being deemed unacceptable. No financial obligation arises until a fully executed contract document is issued, and no work may commence prior to contract award.

***Please read the evaluation criteria closely. If the vendor does not provide a full response, it will be found unresponsive***
The selection will be made using the Best Value Tradeoff Approach with Technical as the primary factor and Price as the secondary factor. Technical – Contractor MUST meet the technical requirement as described in Attachment 1 as well as the information below:
EVALUATION FACTORS
1. Technical Acceptability - Primary Factor (Most Important Factor) - Contractor MUST meet ALL the technical elements - See Attachment 1 and Read the SOR Attachment 2 thoroughly.
2. Other Considerations as described below (2nd Most Important Factor)
a. The squadron currently has a critical shortfall of engineering personnel and no available billets to assign dedicated personnel to develop scripts for these units. A built-in SCPI recorder is a KEY because it will enable our existing RF engineers to automatically generate the necessary code and execute the automated test environment (ATE) without requiring unavailable software development resources.
b. Work Stoppage / Schedule Failure: Without the automated SCPI recorder, the testing phase cannot proceed, as the command lacks the specialized software engineering personnel required to manually write the test scripts. Attempting to hire, contract, or re-allocate software developers to this effort would cause an unacceptable schedule delay, will cause the program to miss its mandatory Initial Operational Capability (IOC) deadline.
3. Price - Third Factor.
The ability to provide Spectrum Analyzers with technical specifications will be assigned ratings of satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
The Government will award a purchase order resulting from the RFQ to a responsible offeror whose quote is responsive to the RFQ and considered to be the Best Value.
Offerors shall include complete copies of applicable provisions, which are included in SF1449. Offers will be considered incomplete if these are not included with the quote.
The clause at RFO Part 52.212-4, Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Oct 2025), applies to this acquisition.
Additional Contract Requirement or Terms and Conditions: Please find a contemplated list of additional provisions/clauses in the attachments; the final list of clauses is dependent upon actual dollar value of the contract award and may change from those provided in the attachment. Full text for the clauses and provisions can be accessed via https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul.
