Summary
The opportunity titled 'X Band LNA' is a special notice issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the procurement of five X Band Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) intended for the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) 14.2 M antenna system located at the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station in Virginia. This acquisition is critical as the existing LNAs are underperforming and need replacement to ensure continuous data reception from satellites. The work involves providing LNAs that meet specific RF parameters and operational requirements to maintain the integrity of the satellite data collection process. Given the sole source nature of this procurement, it is primarily targeted at Narda-MITEQ, the only entity capable of fulfilling the stringent specifications required. However, other responsible sources may submit their capabilities for consideration, although the government retains discretion over whether to pursue competitive bidding.
