About this opportunity
The United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa intends to solicit L3Harris antenna repair and maintenance kits and associated workbench equipment for the 2nd Air Support Operations Squadron at Ramstein Air Base, with industry comment due August 8, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement requiring OEM-authorized L3Harris components; the agency asserts that non-OEM parts risk voiding technical support from the System Program Office (NSWC Crane) and disrupting established unit procedures.
The requirement includes transit case upgrades for TACP communication cases, leak test equipment for radio housings, a dedicated assembly/disassembly workbench for L3Harris manpack and handheld radios, OEM spares kits for PRC-117G, PRC-160(V), PRC-163, and PRC-167 radio systems, ruggedized communication hubs compatible with L3Harris protocols, on-site installation and configuration services, and OEM-certified Level 3 technical training. Work is performed at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The procurement supports mission-critical communications for adaptive TACP operations and prevents degraded radio system performance across the 2ASOS unit's tactical inventory. Dollar value and period of performance are not stated in this pre-solicitation notice.
Notice text
IAW RFO 5.101(c)(4):
The 2nd Air Support Operations Squadron (2ASOS) at Ramstein Air Base requires L3Harris antenna repair and maintenance kits to perform routine maintenance on mission-critical radio systems (PRC-117G, PRC-160, PRC-163, and PRC-167). This procurement prevents degraded communications and supports the unit's adaptive mission requirements.
The requirement consists of one complete system configuration, including the following equipment and components:
- Transit Case Upgrades: Enhanced durability/environmental protection kits for TACP communication cases.
- Leak Test Upgrades: Specialized tools to verify pressure seals and environmental integrity of radio housings.
- Assembly/Disassembly Bench: Dedicated workstation for the maintenance of L3Harris manpack and handheld radios.
- 117G Spares Kit: OEM maintenance components for AN/PRC-117G multiband manpack radios.
- 160 Spares Kit: OEM maintenance components for AN/PRC-160(V) wideband HF/VHF radios.
- 163 Spares Kit: OEM maintenance components for AN/PRC-163 multi-channel handheld radios.
- 167 Spares Kit: OEM maintenance components for AN/PRC-167 multi-channel manpack radios.
- Communication Hubs: Ruggedized data/power distribution hubs compatible with L3Harris protocols and power outputs.
- On-Site Installation & Configuration: Expert assembly, calibration, and integration of the test bench workstation.
- Level 3 Training: OEM-certified technical training required for operators to diagnose and perform complex repairs
Technical & Qualification Requirements
- OEM Compatibility: Modern tactical radio systems rely on proprietary OEM architectures; authorized maintenance can only be executed using genuine L3Harris kits compatible with existing workbench infrastructure.
- Sustainment & Risk: Using non-OEM components risks voiding System Program Office (NSWC Crane) technical support, causing equipment failure, and disrupting established unit SOPs.
- OEM Installation & Training: Assembly, configuration, and Level 3 technician certification are proprietary and strictly provided by the OEM.
