About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center seeks Amphenol circular connectors for F-16 FINS (Fighter Instrumentation Network System) support, with quotations due September 4, 2026, at 12:00 PM local time. This is a 100% HUBZone Small Business set-aside, brand-name-only to Amphenol Aerospace (CAGE 77820), issued as a Request for Quotation under FAR RFO Part 12 procedures.
Place of performance is Edwards Air Force Base, California. The NAICS code is 513210, Software Publishers, with a small business size standard of 250 employees. The PSC is 5935, Connectors, Electrical.
The procurement is restricted to three specific Amphenol part numbers: 42 units of P/N 88-569742-35S (Shell Size 10, 22 AWG, socket contacts, Series II equivalent); 42 units of P/N 88-569743-98P (Shell Size 12, 20 AWG, pin contacts); and 42 units of P/N 88-569745-35S (Shell Size 16, 22 AWG, socket contacts). No substitutions or alternative products will be considered. The brand-name restriction is justified under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) because the proprietary form, fit, and function of these connectors—including custom PCB tail lengths and standoffs—are flight-certified under the Technical Data Package and have operated under a proven baseline for over 10 years. Recertification of alternatives would incur unacceptable costs and schedule delays.
Delivery is required within 60 work days from award, FOB Contractor Destination, to Building 3736, 115 Gregorious Avenue, Edwards AFB, CA 93524-0001 (DoDAAC: F1S0AY). Pricing is firm fixed-price. Inspection and acceptance occur at both contractor facility and destination. Payment is via WAWF electronic invoicing. The contracting officer is Josiah Broadway (josiah.broadway@us.af.mil, 527-8438); Christina Day is an additional point of contact.
