About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command seeks five OPHIR Model 5135E linear RF power amplifiers operating at 800–2000 MHz with 300W output capacity, with proposals due September 8, 2026. The procurement is a 100% small business set-aside but has been issued under sole-source authority (Brand Name, FAR 11.204(a)(2)(ii)), restricting competition to the named manufacturer.
Place of performance is Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado. Delivery is required within 60 calendar days of award. The amplifiers include front panel controllers with digital display, forward and reverse power readings, gain adjustment, ALC on/off capability, fault indication, standby mode, and rear panel IEEE-488 GPIB, RS-232, and Ethernet interfaces, with a five-year warranty covering parts and labor included.
The Contracting Officer justified the sole-source determination on the grounds that the OPHIR 5135E is essential to the 527th Special Operations Squadron's mission requirements, providing concurrent signal monitoring, rapid reconfiguration without computer interface, compact size, and light weight suitable for highly mobile operations. No alternative amplifier system meets operational requirements without prohibitive cost or requiring multiple alternative models; standardization reduces training, troubleshooting, and operational risk for critical national security tasks during the squadron's 200-day annual garrison operations.
Quotes are limited to five pages excluding warranty attachments, must include a Bill of Materials, CAGE number, Unique Entity Identifier, point of contact, estimated delivery lead time, and self-attestation of financial and technical resources, and must be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. The Government intends to award without post-submission negotiations. NAICS 334220; PSC 6625.
