About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is soliciting proposals for Bag of Attack Radios (BOAR) Kits, which are critical components for A-10 aircraft operations that enable the reception and conversion of Link-16 data into Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) format. These kits are essential for maintaining continuous situational awareness in deployed environments when aircraft operate beyond Gateway range. The required BOAR Kit must include seven specific components: various cables for in-line molded EUD extension, radio connections, battery assemblies, peripheral extensions, wedge radio assemblies, USB-C EUD connections, and a 4-port hub, with four units of each component required for a total of 28 individual parts. All components must seamlessly integrate with Link-16 systems and SADL, ensuring reliable data conversion for A-10 aircraft operations and supporting critical situational awareness for deployed military operations. Proposals are due August 11, 2025, with vendors required to provide detailed technical specifications to ensure proper assessment and consideration.
This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business enterprises. The contract will be performed at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia, specifically at Bemiss Road, Moody AFB, GA 31699. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 5985 for Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment. The government file attached to the opportunity appears to contain only standard Adobe Reader loading information rather than substantive solicitation details, requiring vendors to rely primarily on the posted opportunity description for proposal preparation. No incumbent contractors, specific award values, or detailed performance timelines are mentioned in the available documentation, though the critical nature of the equipment for A-10 aircraft operations suggests this is a high-priority military capability requirement.
