Description
The U.S. Navy Band is seeking a sole‑source acquisition of brand‑specific audio‑equipment to replace out‑of‑life‑cycle gear. The requirement includes DiGiCo consoles, upgrades, custom road cases, fiber‑optic cables, I/O cards, a Fourier Audio DSP suite (Transform Engine and Transform Go), SKB rack cases, and a Meyer Sound GALAXY‑408 processor. All items are justified on the basis of unique compatibility with the Navy Band’s existing Optocore fiber network and prior investment in DiGiCo infrastructure; no suitable alternatives exist. Quantities are detailed in the Statement of Work, and delivery is required by 30 September 2026. The solicitation is a simplified acquisition (under $350 K) and is being issued on a sole‑source basis per FAR 16.505(a).
• Procurement of 12 DiGiCo items (console, upgrades, cases, cards, rack, fiber cable) – UK origin.
• Fourier Audio DSP hardware and 12‑month software subscription.
• SKB custom flight‑case for DSP units.
• Meyer Sound GALAXY‑408 networkable loudspeaker processor.
• All equipment must integrate with existing DiGiCo/Optocore architecture; non‑brand alternatives are deemed non‑compatible.
• Required delivery: 30 Sept 2026.
