Drive, antenna

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is pursuing a pre-solicitation opportunity for a specialized antenna drive component, specifically NSN 4Y-5985-LLH970195-SQ with Technical Design Package (TDP) Version 003. The procurement is seeking two units to be delivered FOB Origin, indicating the government will take possession at the point of origin. This opportunity is categorized under Product Service Code 5985, which covers antennas, waveguides, and related equipment. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, standard federal procurement practices typically include technical compliance, past performance, and pricing assessments. The solicitation is currently in the pre-solicitation phase, with a response deadline of January 24, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately two months to prepare and submit their proposals.

The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for this opportunity. This approach aims to support and provide opportunities for smaller defense industry contractors. The Naval Supply Systems Command, a defense agency, will be the contracting authority for this procurement. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the current notice, though the requirement for two antenna drive units suggests a relatively focused acquisition. The procurement timeline indicates the opportunity was initially posted on November 23, 2024, with the response deadline in late January 2025. The specific National Stock Number (NSN) and Technical Design Package version suggest this is a precise, potentially specialized requirement with defined technical specifications.
