This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334220 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. AFRL requires a Software Defined Radio (SDR) with support for K- band frequencies. Technical requirements are 1 GHz sample rates and center frequencies up to 26 GHz (K-band). The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc. 2100 Progress Parkway, Schaumburg, Il 60196 The Government has determined that no other source can achieve the specific sample rates of 1 GHz and center frequencies of 26 GHz transmit frequency and 30 GHz receive frequency, as a novel custom ASIC approach is used which has not yet been replicated by other vendors. This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to Brooke.McDonald@us.af.mil . Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 31 August 2021. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award in accordance with applicable regulation.
