About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center seeks quotations for twelve Amphenol aircraft pin connectors (ten units each of six distinct part numbers in the TV06DT-25-187 series) with a proposal due date of July 31, 2026, and an awarded value of $84,840.50. This is a total small business set-aside procured as a brand-name sole source under FAR procedures.

Place of performance is Edwards Air Force Base, California, with delivery FOB contractor destination to Building 3736 on or before March 8, 2027. The connectors are direct, form-fit-function replacements for non-serviceable units that maintain flight instrumentation equipment on the 420th Combined Test Force Stingray aircraft. Market research via GSA Request for Information 1807532 and NASA SEWP confirmed these connectors are unavailable on established government schedules and obtainable only through open market sources; alternative brands are incompatible with existing aircraft wiring and telemetry networks. The procurement is firm fixed price under NAICS 334417 (Electronic Connector Manufacturing) and PSC 5935 (Connectors, Electrical), with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees.

Quotations must be submitted via email with sufficient information for government evaluation. Delivery includes demolition, installation, and shipping costs. Inspection and acceptance occur at both contractor facilities and destination. Contract administration uses the Wide Area WorkFlow system for invoicing and receiving reports. The contracting officer is Mercedes Ellis, 661-277-3268, mercedes.ellis@us.af.mil. Solicitation number FA930226Q0094 must appear on all packages.
