PSC Category 5865 (Electronic Countermeasures, Counter-Countermeasures and Quick Reaction Capability Equipment) encompasses sophisticated electronic systems designed to detect, prevent, or mitigate electronic warfare threats. These specialized components are critical for military platforms, focusing on radar warning receivers, signal jamming equipment, infrared countermeasures, and electronic sensor technologies. The equipment supports defensive capabilities across various military aircraft, naval vessels, and ground systems by protecting against electromagnetic and infrared-guided threats.

Recent federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant investment in advanced electronic warfare capabilities. Representative awards include a $61 million Lockheed Martin contract for B-2 Defensive Management System services, a $21.7 million Sierra Nevada contract for BIG SAFARI program equipment, and multiple smaller contracts with companies like L3Harris Technologies and Raytheon for electronic countermeasures components. These awards predominantly originated from Air Force, Navy, and Defense Logistics Agency procurement offices, typically spanning 2-5 year periods. Most contracts were firm-fixed price and not set aside for small businesses, indicating the technical complexity requires established defense contractors.

Recent federal contract opportunities reflect continued demand for sophisticated electronic countermeasures technologies. Opportunities include source sought notices for counter-small unmanned aircraft system (C-sUAS) technologies, repair and modification of electronic receivers and modulators, and procurement of specialized electronic components like radar warning receivers and infrared sensor systems. These opportunities span agencies including Naval Air Systems Command, Air Force Materiel Command, and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, with performance locations primarily in manufacturing and repair facilities across the United States. Most opportunities emphasize technical complexity, requiring detailed source approval and adherence to strict military specifications.
