About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is soliciting quotations for antenna control units and associated components manufactured by Data Telemetry Systems (also referenced as Delta Telemetry Systems) under Request for Quotation FA822226QB005. The procurement is for commercial items intended to support the 309th Software Maintenance Engineering Group (SWEG) located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Specifically, the Air Force requires an Antenna Control Unit (Part Number 312110-J1397), an ACU Standard Components Kit (309623-11), a Pedestal Printed Circuit Board (303060-J1397), and a Maintenance Box (301415-01), all of which are mission-critical spare components for the TAA50 Antennas system. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose conforming offer is most advantageous to the Government, evaluated primarily on price and the technical capability of the items offered to meet stated requirements. Quotations must be submitted by 1100 Mountain Time on March 23, 2026, to audrey.armstrong.4@us.af.mil and jonathan.graham.11@us.af.mil, with offerors required to provide their CAGE code and SAM UEI.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS Code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) with a small business size standard of $34 million, making it unavailable to large businesses. The procurement represents a single-source acquisition, as Delta Telemetry Systems is the exclusive manufacturer of the required components; the contracting officer documented comprehensive competition efforts prior to justifying single-source procurement, including searches on multiple platforms and a Sources Sought announcement that yielded no viable alternatives. The required quantity is 2 units each of all four line items. Delivery must be completed within 120 days after receipt of order (ARO) to 18205 S.E. Countyline Road, Tequesta, FL 33469. Recent clarification from the contracting officer confirmed that the correct quantities in the RFQ are 2 each for all items, resolving an earlier discrepancy in the documentation.
