Antenna

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure four (4) antennas through a pre-solicitation notice with a National Stock Number (NSN) of 1R-5985-016984169-RQ. The procurement falls under Product Service Code (PSC) 5985, which covers antennas, waveguides, and related equipment. This defense-related contract opportunity was posted on November 14, 2024, with a response deadline of March 18, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, contractors in the communications and electronic equipment manufacturing sector should prepare to demonstrate technical capabilities for antenna production and delivery. The contract requires delivery FOB (Free On Board) Origin, indicating that the supplier will be responsible for initial transportation of the equipment.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific small business set-aside status, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. The reference number 825771-001 suggests this might be a specialized or unique antenna requirement for naval communications infrastructure. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the current notice. The quantity of four (4) antennas implies this could be a targeted procurement for a specific naval system or installation. The extended timeline between posting and response deadline (approximately four months) suggests a complex procurement process that may involve detailed technical specifications or potential vendor clarification periods.
