About this opportunity
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is seeking to procure 150 sets of specialized avionics blind mate connectors through a Request for Quote (RFQ) under FAR Subpart 13.5. The connectors are modular rack and panel components designed to serve as mechanical, electrical, and environmental interfaces between line-replaceable units (LRUs) in a custom electronics enclosure. Specific ARINC part numbers from Radial (NSXN2F449X01, NSXN2B449X01, NSXN2F964X01, and NSXN2B964X01) have been identified as meeting the technical requirements. The solicitation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, with vendors required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Quotes are due by April 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with a response deadline of April 11, 2025.
The solicitation is not set aside for any specific small business category and targets NAICS code 423690 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The contract will be firm-fixed-price with a delivery schedule of 140 calendar days from award receipt. The connectors must meet rigorous technical specifications, including operating in temperatures from -65C to +125C, withstanding 500 mating/unmating cycles, and supporting 8-26 AWG conductors and LMR-195 coaxial RF cable. The mechanical form factor is strictly limited to no more than 2.25" tall, 7.5" long, and 1.75" deep. Performance will occur at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC (20375), with the connectors intended for use in vehicle communication equipment installations that require high-reliability electrical interfaces.
