About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base is procuring refurbishment services for AvL antenna systems through a combined synopsis/solicitation process. The requirement involves comprehensive refurbishment of two 2.4M 2020 C/Ku EMI antenna systems, including mechanical drive component replacement, hardware updates, electrical and wiring improvements, and feed-related component restoration with limit switches, wiring, connectors, and motors. All items must comply with Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements and FAR 889 regulations, with vendors required to indicate any imported materials for customs compliance. The evaluation will follow a lowest price technically acceptable approach, where the lowest priced quote will be reviewed first for technical acceptability before considering higher-priced alternatives. Proposals are due September 16, 2025, with responses required to reference solicitation number F3LTF15239A001 and include any applicable maintenance support reinstatement fees.
This procurement is designated as an 8(a) sole source award to AvL Technologies, which has been identified as the original equipment manufacturer and only authorized source capable of refurbishing their proprietary antenna technologies. The justification documentation confirms that no alternative resellers or manufacturers can meet the government's specific requirements based on market research conducted since fiscal year 2019. The contract covers refurbishment of two antenna systems with comprehensive component replacements focused on functional restoration rather than cosmetic improvements. Performance will take place in Woodfin, North Carolina, with the procurement planned for fiscal year 2025 funding. The bill of materials specifies three main line items including the antenna refurbishment packages, feed component refurbishment, and outbound shipping and handling for both systems.
