Product Service Code (PSC) 1270 covers Aircraft Gunnery Fire Control Components, which are critical electronic and mechanical parts used in military aviation systems. These components include receivers, transmitters, signal processors, display units, and various assemblies that support targeting, navigation, and weapon systems in military aircraft. The PSC category encompasses sophisticated electronic equipment designed to enhance aircraft combat and operational capabilities across multiple military platforms.

The federal contract awards under PSC 1270 demonstrate a diverse range of procurement activities, with contract values ranging from approximately $1,500 to over $57 million. Frequently awarded entities include Elbitamerica, Inc., Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Raytheon Company, and Collins Elbit Vision Systems. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) are the most common funding agencies. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, typically with performance periods between six months and three years. The contracts generally do not have specific set-aside designations, reflecting the specialized nature of the components. Performance locations are primarily within the United States, with some international locations like Norway and Israel.

The federal contract opportunities for PSC 1270 focus on repair, modification, and procurement of complex aircraft fire control components. Recent opportunities include repairs for the Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System (IHADSS) by the Army Contracting Command, repair of TSS Turret Assemblies for the Navy, and procurement of specialized components like multiplier assemblies for Foreign Military Sales to Qatar. The solicitations are typically issued by military branches such as the Navy, Air Force, and Army, with detailed technical requirements and strict qualification processes. Most opportunities are not set aside for specific business categories and require extensive technical documentation and source approval processes.
