AI Contract Overview
This solicitation, identified as FA930226Q0096, is a combined synopsis and request for quotation under FAR Part 12 for the procurement of 14 Spectrum Analyzers, classified under NAICS code 334515 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The acquisition is conducted using the Best Value Tradeoff approach, where Technical Acceptability is the primary and most critical evaluation factor, followed by Other Considerations related to program continuity, and Price as the tertiary factor. Offerors must strictly meet all technical requirements outlined in Attachment 1 and SOR Attachment 2, with the mandatory inclusion of a built-in SCPI recorder being essential to enable existing RF engineers to automate test scripts without relying on unavailable software development personnel; failure to provide this capability will result in an unsatisfactory rating and disqualification due to the risk of missing the mandatory Initial Operational Capability deadline. Quotes must be submitted electronically via email to Carmen Barahona and Falilou Diouck by 10:00 AM PST on August 7, 2026, and must not exceed 10MB in size, with no late submissions accepted. All submissions must include complete contractor information including SAM UEI, TIN, CAGE Code, contractor name, payment terms, point of contact, warranty, offer expiration date, FOB Destination, delivery lead time, technical approach, and a completed certification for exemption from Service Contract Labor Standards. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis with a 12-month period of performance, and delivery is required to Edwards Air Force Base, California. Invoicing must be conducted exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, and contractors are required to comply with all applicable federal clauses, including those related to government ethics, subcontractor restrictions, and cybersecurity. Additionally, contractor personnel requiring access to the installation must obtain Common Access Cards and base identification badges, and the government reserves the right to seek clarifications but intends to award without negotiation, making it imperative that each quote reflect the offeror’s best final terms.

***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.
