About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to procure Radio Frequency (RF) Switches for the AN/ALR-56M Advanced Radar Warning Receiver (ARWR) used on F-16 Blocks C/D and C-130J aircraft. The specific NSN 5985-01-512-9801EW requires Part Numbers 312827-102 and/or 312827-402, which are critical components of Line Replacement Unit 7 (LRU-7). The procurement will follow FAR 15 procedures and is being pursued through limited competition, with only two potential sources identified: Herley Industries, Inc. (CAES Mission Systems, LLC) and Planar Monolithics Industries (PMI) Inc. All interested firms may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation within fifteen days of the publication date, though the government retains sole discretion in determining competitive approach. Questions regarding the Request for Proposal (RFP) must be submitted to designated Air Force contacts Kylie Ordoyne and Kenneth Dickman by email.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, and the contract will be a five-year Requirements Type Contract with a 12-month basic ordering period followed by four additional twelve-month ordering periods. The estimated quantities are 18 units for the basic period, and 20 units for each subsequent ordering period, totaling 98 units over the contract's duration. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) as having only one responsible source that can satisfy agency requirements, with an anticipated award in 2025. Foreign participation at the contractor level is expressly prohibited. The contract will be awarded through the NAICS code 334419 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and PSC code 5985 (Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment), with the place of performance to be determined. The government's approach suggests a highly specialized procurement focused on maintaining specific radar warning receiver capabilities for military aircraft.
