The U.S. Army Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment Activity (USATA) requires commercial calibration and repair services for a Rohde & Schwarz model FSV40-N Spectrum Analyzer. The government is responsible for shipping the unit to the contractor within 48 hours of contract award, with acceptance and inspection managed by the U.S. Army TMDE Activity at Redstone Arsenal, AL. The contractor must repair the analyzer to its original condition and provide calibration in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025, including a calibration report detailing pertinent data such as the calibration standards used and measurement uncertainty. Performance will occur at the contractor’s facilities, and no government-furnished equipment will be provided. The document specifies the overall framework and requirements for effective procurement of these specialized services, vital for maintaining precision in military equipment usage.
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Redstone has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market research regarding Calibration and Repair Services (C&RS) for the FSV40-N Spectrum Analyzer, manufactured by Rohde & Schwarz USA, Inc. This RFI is solely for information and planning purposes, not constituting a commitment for future procurement. Interested parties must submit a white paper by March 14, 2025, detailing company information, business size, socio-economic status, and contact details. Submissions should be limited to three pages and emailed to designated contacts. Respondents are advised that all information submitted becomes government property and will not be returned. The document emphasizes the voluntary nature of the response and clarifies that the government will not compensate for any costs incurred during this process. This initiative underscores the Army's efforts to identify potential sources for specialized equipment maintenance, highlighting the importance of strategic partnerships in logistical support functions.
