N0016422SNB80- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)/SOURCES SOUGHT – MULTI-AGENT RADIO FREQUENCY PATH SIMULATOR EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING - PSC 6625 - NAICS 334220 Issue Date: 14 Oct 21 - Closing Date: 22 Oct 21 – 2:00PM Eastern The Government is issuing this RFI/sources sought announcement as part of market research for the Multi-Agent Radio Frequency Path Simulator (MARPS) for laboratory test system. The Government has a requirement for the procurement of product improvements for the Multi-Agent Radio Frequency Path Simulator (MARPS) laboratory test system located at NSWC Crane, Crane, IN, Building 3330N. The laboratory test system requires new equipment for an upgraded MARPS with an interface to the Wireless Infrastructure Test System (WiTS), as well as repair parts for existing MARPS systems. The Government plans to award a sole source contract to Planar Monolithics Industries, Inc. (PMI) – 7311 Grove Rd. Frederick, MD 21704. This effort will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source. The Government is seeking information from companies mitigating the sole source basis listed above. The Government is seeking companies with the capabilities and facilities to provide MARPS equipment and laboratory test system for an upgraded MARPS that will interface to the WiTS. Please complete attached market questionnaire with part and nomenclatures necessary to meet this requirement. Responses should include software documentation, technology readiness level of any products, technical data sheets, historical evidence of MARPS equipment production, and budgetary cost estimates. All interested parties are encouraged to submit company and product literature, a white paper no longer than 3 pages, and other pertinent information or descriptions in order to mitigate the reason why the Government should not procure this effort on a sole source basis as stated above, and /or identify other Government contracts with similar efforts for the Government(s) consideration.
