Product Service Code (PSC) 5841 encompasses airborne radar equipment, which includes a wide range of sophisticated electronic systems designed for detection, tracking, and navigation in aerial platforms. These systems are critical for military and government operations, providing essential capabilities in aircraft such as maritime patrol, combat, and reconnaissance missions. The radar equipment includes components like receivers, transmitters, modulators, processors, and related electronic assemblies that enable advanced sensing and situational awareness.

The Federal Contract Awards under this PSC demonstrate a robust market for radar system components, with contracts typically ranging from $5,000 to over $72 million. Frequent awardees include major defense contractors such as Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and BAE Systems. Most awards are issued by the Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command and the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency. The contracts are predominantly firm-fixed-price and not set aside, indicating open competition. Performance locations are primarily in states with significant defense industry presence like Maryland, Virginia, and Massachusetts, with some international components for Foreign Military Sales.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities under PSC 5841 focus on repair, modification, and procurement of specific radar system components for various military platforms including P-8 aircraft, Black Hawk helicopters, and maritime patrol systems. The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard are primary soliciting agencies, with requirements ranging from individual component repairs to comprehensive system upgrades. Many opportunities involve source-approved repairs, requiring contractors to have specialized technical capabilities and access to original equipment manufacturer data. Notable opportunities include software updates for radar systems, repair of receiver-transmitter units, and development of active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar technologies for multiple aircraft platforms.
