About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation has awarded contract SPRHA4-26-C-0023 to BAE Systems on a sole-source basis for 37 Enhanced Microwave Unit sub-assemblies on May 20, 2026.
The justification rests on BAE's status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer and sole engineering authority for all generations of F-16 AIS test stations. The EMU sub-assemblies provide Radio Frequency stimulus and measurement capabilities for VXI-IAIS test stations used in testing and repair of F-16 avionics Line Replaceable Units. BAE recently completed a three-year redesign to resolve Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortage issues. The EMU carries an AMC/AMSC code of 3/R, meaning manufacturing data is proprietary to BAE; the Government does not possess sufficient data to establish additional sources. BAE declined the Government's June 12, 2025 inquiry regarding the sale of proprietary data rights. Market research and a combined Request for Information and Sources Sought posted to SAM.gov on October 21, 2025 (SPRHA1-26-R-0041) confirmed no viable commercial or non-commercial alternatives exist. The contracting officer is Rocky Tello (385-591-0014). Statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source). Estimated delivery completion is 42 months after contract receipt, with FY26 working capital funding. Place of performance is San Diego, California. Specific pricing and total contract value are redacted.
