Commercial Antennas

The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is conducting a Sources Sought notice to identify potential sources for commercial antennas to support Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements for Montenegro. Specifically, the procurement seeks one COMROD AT53 High Frequency Antenna and five Valcom VMB-11512-N Multi-Band Antennas. Interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide detailed information about their capabilities, past performance, and ability to serve as a single provider or outline potential subcontracting arrangements. Responses must include rough order of magnitude (ROM) pricing and availability information, submitted to Emanuel Green via email by 2:00 PM EDT on January 23, 2025. The evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, manufacturing capacity, compliance with Berry Amendment specialty metals restrictions, and overall ability to meet the unclassified contract requirements.

The procurement falls under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 5985 for Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment. While no specific set-aside has been definitively established, the notice indicates the requirement may be set aside for small businesses or procured through full and open competition. The place of performance remains to be determined, with Aberdeen Proving Ground currently listed as a placeholder. No specific contract value or budget range is currently disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The acquisition is being managed by the Communications-Electronics Command Security Assistance Management Directorate (CECOM SAMD), suggesting this is part of a broader military communications equipment procurement strategy for international partners.
