    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), is seeking information from qualified businesses regarding the provision of a High Frequency (HF) Electric Field (E-Field) Meter. The procurement aims to identify suppliers capable of delivering commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), modified COTS, or custom meters that meet specific performance criteria for accurate measurement of radio frequency (RF) signals, which are crucial for military emissions testing and electromagnetic characterization aboard Navy vessels. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements detailing their qualifications and past performance, with the government planning to procure up to ten units if the initial meter meets requirements. Responses to the Sources Sought notice (N0017825R6607) are due by November 12, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. EST, and should be directed to Sharon Lathroum at sharon.lathroum@navy.mil.

    019-B50-High Frequency (HF) Electric Field Meter- Requirements (HWSW) 20240924.xlsx
    This government document outlines specifications for a handheld electrical measurement device, which is intended for use in a variety of operational contexts. Key electrical parameters include a frequency range of 1.5-30 MHz, a modulation type of Continuous Wave (CW), and operational electric fields ranging from 0.05 to 400 V/m. The device should have a battery life of at least 12 hours, operate within a temperature range of 14 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and include environmental protections like water resistance. The user interface requirements feature an application programming interface, a display capable of showing multiple traces, and the ability to save measurement data in various formats (XML, CSV, TXT). Additionally, the device must meet US Navy METCAL calibration standards and be lightweight, not exceeding 2 pounds. The overall purpose of this document is to serve as a Request for Proposals (RFP) for manufacturers to design and produce a device that meets specified functional, physical, and data handling criteria necessary for conducting accurate electromagnetic field measurements in demanding environments. The specifications ensure that the device is practical for users in both field and laboratory settings while maintaining regulatory compliance.

    The document outlines a Sources Sought notice (N0017825R6607) issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) to gauge market interest in providing a High Frequency (HF) Electric Field (E-Field) Meter. The primary purpose is to identify interested businesses capable of supplying one or more commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), modified COTS, or custom meters that meet specified performance criteria. The anticipated dates for soliciting proposals and closing submissions are set for late 2024, with potential awards by February 2025. The notice emphasizes the need for accurate measurement of radio frequency (RF) signals, vital for military emissions testing and characterizing electromagnetic effects aboard Navy ships. The government plans to procure up to ten units if the initial meter meets requirements. The document requests capability statements from both large and small businesses, detailing their qualifications, past performance, and any potential subcontracting arrangements. The objective is to ensure not less than two small businesses can fulfill the contract's needs while adhering to specific submissions guidelines. Overall, this Sources Sought is part of a market research effort, not a request for proposals, and seeks to assess industry capabilities in fulfilling government requirements.
