Purchase Order FA825025P0053

Applied Systems Engineering Inc. (ASE), a small business manufacturer based in Benbrook, Texas, was awarded a $82,946 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex to provide repair services for a Pulse Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) radar transmitter under the Joint Threat Emulator (JTE) Program. The contract, posted on June 27, 2025 and awarded on July 14, 2025, requires comprehensive teardown, testing, evaluation, and repair services to restore the radar transmitter (NSN 5840-01-599-9081) to serviceable, like-new condition meeting original military specifications. Work will be performed at ASE's Benbrook, Texas facility with a completion date of December 31, 2025, and involves strict compliance with military packaging standards, electrostatic discharge control programs, counterfeit prevention protocols, and reporting requirements through the Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force system. This award was issued as a non-competitive sole-source contract with no small business set-aside applied.

This purchase order was issued under ASE's existing five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle with the Ogden Air Logistics Complex valued at $6.999 million, which supports repair services for the JTE, Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR), and Mini-MUTES defense programs. ASE has consistently demonstrated its capability as a critical provider of specialized electronic equipment and repair services to U.S. military agencies, with established subcontract relationships with major defense contractors including BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc., Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, and Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. The Air Force Sustainment Center's procurement reflects the continued demand for specialized expertise in maintaining sophisticated radar and microwave amplifier systems essential to national defense testing and threat emulation operations.
