About this opportunity

The Air Force Test Center (AFTC), a Department of the Air Force Materiel Command division, has issued a Special Notice for an anticipated sole source contract with Quasonix, Inc. located in West Chester, Ohio. The notice, published on May 12, 2025, outlines the government's intent to procure three C-band telemetry transmitters under authority of 10 United States Code 2302(b). The contract will be a Firm-Fixed Price procurement classified under NAICS code 334290 for Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The notice serves as a synopsis of contract action and provides an opportunity for potential vendors to demonstrate their capability to meet the government's technical requirements.

Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit a comprehensive technical package by 3:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on May 15, 2025, to either Contracting Specialist Kimberly Jaime or Contracting Officer Susana Dryer via email. Submissions must include clear evidence of technical capability, verification of Representation and Certifications-Commercial Items, and any special requirements for a commercial contract per FAR part 12. The specific procurement involves three units of Quasonix transmitter model QSX-VCR2-1100-20-54-07BN-DP-DSWBX-P9-PF-PM and three accompanying heat sinks. While this appears to be a potential sole source award to Quasonix, the government remains open to alternative vendors who can convincingly demonstrate meeting the technical specifications. An AFTC Ombudsman is available to address vendor concerns, with contact information provided in the notice to facilitate resolution of any issues throughout the procurement process.
