Background
The Tobyhanna Army Depot has a potential requirement to procure test equipment to establish repair and test capability for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) line repairable units (LRUs).

This Sources Sought is issued by the Army Contracting Command (ACC) - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Tobyhanna Division, to identify potential vendors that possess the capabilities to support this requirement.

Work Details
The contract requires the procurement of two (2) network analyzers with the following specifications:
- Form Factor: Benchtop unit with integrated multi-touch sensitive display.
- Test Ports: Two (2) ruggedized 3.5 mm (male) connectors, 50-ohm impedance.
- Data Security: Must utilize a removable Solid-State Drive (SSD) architecture for securing classified or sensitive measurement data; must include at least one (1) spare/additional SSD.
- Hardware Interfaces: Must include LAN (Gbit), USB 3.0/3.1, and specialized external Pulse/I-O adapters for synchronization with external hardware.
- Power Sensors: Must include direct USB power sensors covering up to 18 GHz and up to 33 GHz for precise power calibration and leveled measurements directly from the VNA interface.
- Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz (Continuous sweep).
- Configurable Test Set: Must include front-panel access loops for source and receiver paths for external signal conditioning.
- Pulsed-RF Hardware: Must include integrated internal pulse modulators on the stimulus source for generating narrow RF pulses.
- Advanced Pulsed-RF Software: Must include built-in measurement software capable of point-in-pulse and pulse-profile measurements without requiring an external PC controller.
- Mixer/Converter Analysis: Must include software capable of making both scalar and vector measurements of frequency-translating devices.
- Measurement Automation: Must include an integrated software environment providing intelligent setup assistance and dynamic test sequencing for complex multiport/multistage device measurements.
- Calibration Standards: Must include a commercial calibration certificate with complete measurement test data verifying instrument specifications out-of-the-box.
- Includes two (2) flexible 10 ft phase stable cables.
- Warranty: Minimum 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on award W50S9225PA006, awarded to Samstar for $16,704 (06/04/25–07/31/25) for a network analyzer. The current requirement similarly calls for procurement of network analyzers with specific RF test capabilities (10 MHz to 26.5 GHz), including pulsed-RF support, power sensors, and automated measurement software. The prior work’s focus on a network analyzer suggests it may be a continuation or follow-on purchase of similar test equipment used to support capability development.
