The Product Service Code (PSC) 5840 covers Radar Equipment, Except Airborne, encompassing a wide range of radar systems, components, and related services used across federal government applications. These include surface surveillance radars, shipboard air traffic radars, weather radars, and specialized radar systems for military, navigation, and research purposes. The equipment ranges from complete radar systems to specific subcomponents like transmitters, receivers, displays, and associated electronic assemblies.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC 5840 demonstrate significant investment in radar technologies, with contract values ranging from several thousand to over $200 million. Key agencies including the Department of Defense, Navy, Air Force, and Federal Aviation Administration frequently award contracts to major defense contractors such as Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and specialized technology firms. Most awards are firm-fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, with performance periods typically spanning 2-5 years. While many contracts are not set aside, some opportunities target small businesses, with awards spanning locations across the United States, including California, Florida, New Jersey, and Maryland.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities under PSC 5840 reflect diverse radar technology requirements across government agencies. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration seeks a Phased Array Radar Test Article for severe storm research, while the Air Force is exploring market research for non-cooperative surveillance radar systems to replace legacy airport surveillance radars. The Navy has posted opportunities for radar component repairs, replacement parts, and engineering support for systems like the AN/SPN-50 Shipboard Air Traffic Radar and E-2 Advanced Hawkeye aircraft systems. These opportunities consistently emphasize technical complexity, specialized manufacturing capabilities, and the need for vendors with deep expertise in radar system design, production, and sustainment.
