59-antenna

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure 18 antennas under NSN 5985-015526389 through a definite quantity contract. The procurement specifies that only Lockheed Martin Sippican, Inc. part number 211281-1 is an approved source for these antenna units. Electronic offers will not be accepted, and offerors must submit a completed solicitation package rather than electronic submissions. The contract includes FOB-Origin terms with inspection and acceptance at destination, and delivery is required within 448 days after receipt of order (DARO). The estimated solicitation issue date is July 8, 2025, with the current pre-solicitation notice due date of July 3, 2025, and the full solicitation will be available through the DIBBS system at the specified URL.

This procurement is designated as unrestricted with no set-aside provisions applied, making it open to all qualified contractors. Lockheed Martin Sippican, Inc. appears to be the sole approved manufacturer for the required antenna specification, effectively limiting competition to authorized distributors or the manufacturer itself. The contract falls under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 5985 for Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment. No specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The 448-day delivery timeline suggests this is not an urgent requirement, allowing adequate time for manufacturing and delivery of the specialized antenna equipment. Paper copies of the solicitation will be available upon request for those unable to access the electronic version through DIBBS.
