Synchros And Resolvers

Product Service Code (PSC) 5990 encompasses synchros and resolvers, which are specialized electromechanical components critical to precision motion control and position feedback in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. These electronic devices convert mechanical angular positions into electrical signals, serving essential functions in navigation systems, aircraft instrumentation, weapons platforms, and other complex mechanical systems. Synchros and resolvers are precision-engineered components that translate rotational movements into electrical outputs with high accuracy.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC 5990 are predominantly issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, with most contracts being firm fixed-price purchase orders ranging from $1,500 to $800,000. Frequent awardees include small businesses like Peerless Electronics Inc., Transaero Inc., and Polytech Defense Spares LLC, with many contracts designated as total small business or service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides. The awards typically have completion dates between six and eighteen months, supporting military aircraft, naval vessels, and ground vehicle maintenance and logistics programs. Most contracts involve the procurement of specific synchro and resolver components with precise technical specifications.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities for PSC 5990 primarily involve solicitations from the Naval Supply Systems Command and Defense Logistics Agency for repair and procurement of synchro and encoder components. These opportunities frequently request shaft angle encoders, control transformers, and resolver assemblies for military platforms including the AH-64E Apache Guardian Helicopter and naval shipboard systems. The solicitations are typically not set-aside, use firm fixed-price contracts, and require detailed technical compliance with military specifications. Performance locations are predominantly in the United States, with inspection and acceptance processes closely governed by military quality assurance standards.
