RFeye Spectrum Maintenance Hardware Warranty subscription

Action was awarded on a firm fixed price sole source basis, PER Title 41 U.S.C. §1901(e)(2) as implemented in FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), sole source (including brand name) under the authority of the simplified procedures for certain commercial items. WDTC uses CRFS equipment tailored to support the DSD test network/wireless spectrum system.

The infrastructure is not compatible with other frequency manufacturing brands like Microtech and Keysight Technologies, which have their own distinct software and methods for processing raw data. To maintain costeffectiveness and avoid disruptions to critical mission requirements, WDTC must continue to use maintenance support from CRFS or supplant the entire infrastructure which would cost upwards of $3 million dollars and cause significant delays.

Acquiring equipment from a different manufacturer would bring unacceptable risks to the quality and schedule of WDTC missions. Furthermore, the process of researching, procuring, reconfiguring, reprogramming software, and retraining personnel on an alternative system could take up to 12 months.
