Software-Defined Radio

Solicitation # 1333ND26QNB670444

This solicitation seeks a Firm Fixed Price quotation for a High-Performance Software-Defined Radio equivalent to the USRP X420, issued under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12 for commercial products. The requirement is a sole-source procurement due to the critical compatibility of National Instruments hardware and software with NIST’s existing 5G/6G and Open RAN research platform; substituting alternative equipment would necessitate extensive redevelopment and testing, jeopardizing ongoing research activities. The procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334220, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, limiting eligibility to small businesses only. All quotations must be submitted electronically by August 14, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET to the designated contract specialists, and offerors must maintain an active SAM.gov registration at the time of submission. Quotations must be divided into two volumes: Volume I, the Technical Response, which must not exceed five single-spaced pages and must provide verifiable evidence of compliance with all technical specifications, including manufacturer documentation, product literature, country of origin, authorization from the manufacturer, delivery capability, and warranty confirmation; and Volume II, the Price Quotation, which must include a firm fixed price for each line item, total aggregate price inclusive of all shipping and delivery costs under FOB Destination terms, point of contact details, UEI number, and any applicable discount or tariff charges. Tariffs for non-U.S.-origin products must be itemized by country and percentage. Evaluation will follow the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, awarding to the responsible offeror whose quotation is technically acceptable and submitted at the lowest price. Failure to address any mandatory requirement may render a quotation unacceptable. All questions must be submitted by August 7, 2026, and only amendment-published responses will govern performance. Delivery is required within 75 days after order receipt to Gaithersburg, Maryland.
