The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, through the 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron, is soliciting quotations for the procurement of a Manpack SATCOM/LOS Antenna Kit under RFQ number FA445226Q0009. This request is for 12 units of the TSE-RF-SAT-MP-A12 antenna equipped with MUOS and SATCOM capability, along with associated shipping and delivery costs. The government intends to award this requirement as a sole-source, single Firm Fixed Price purchase order to Tactical Support Equipment (TSE), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Key contract requirements include confirmation of authorized reseller status, the ability to meet a one-week delivery requirement from receipt of order, and submission of required documentation including the RFQ Information Sheet, Provisions and Clauses, and a cover letter on company letterhead. Quotations will be evaluated based on two factors: technical acceptability (whether the quotation meets all RFQ requirements) and price (completeness and reasonableness). The deadline for electronic submission of quotations is 2:00 PM Central Standard Time on March 5, 2026, with quotes to be submitted via email to Ms. Katelyn Timmermann and Ms. Amber Climaco; late quotations will not be accepted.

This solicitation carries no set-aside designation beyond the sole-source justification to Tactical Support Equipment, the identified exclusive manufacturer of the MANPACK Antenna. The requirement specifies 12 units of the antenna with accessories including a 90-degree handle, kit bag, and holster, representing critical equipment needed for an upcoming deployment in austere environments where weight and space constraints are significant operational factors. The place of performance is Fort Drum, New York 13602, with delivery required no later than one week after receipt of order and FOB Destination terms. Payment terms are Net 30, with all pricing to be submitted on a Firm Fixed Price basis. Quote validity extends through March 31, 2026, and the government conducted market research confirming that the MANPACK Antenna is no longer available through the GSA schedule as of February 10, 2026, supporting the sole-source award determination made on March 4, 2026.
