About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command at Robins Air Force Base is conducting a sources-sought market research activity for engineering support on the AN/ALM-280 Enhanced Automated Special Test Equipment (EASTE), with Capability Statement responses due by July 24, 2026. This synopsis is restricted to ATSA-I awardees only and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract; the Government will not reimburse response costs.
The scope requires hardware integration and software development to modernize this legacy Radar/Electronic Warfare test system originally designed in 1991 for the AN/ALQ-161A Defensive Avionics System. Work includes replacing and integrating contemporary Commercial Off-the-Shelf RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, power meters, and RF amplifiers); updating and rewriting core operating software and cart software to interface with newly integrated hardware; and testing and validating the updated system for backwards compatibility with existing Test Program Sets and RF parameter validation.
Interested parties must submit a Capability Statement of 5–10 pages addressing company profile information including CAGE Code and Unique Entity ID, technical capabilities in military Automatic Test Equipment and COTS RF integration, and past performance on up to three recent similar ATE/RF modernization contracts. The Government explicitly seeks to identify small businesses, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned entities. Submit responses to Contracting Officer Jonathan R. Riggins (jonathan.riggins.2@us.af.mil) and Program Manager Daniel Barker (daniel.barker.28.ctr@us.af.mil).
