Filter/Antennas

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research through a sources sought notice for the procurement of electronic components, specifically one low-pass filter and three antennas identified by their respective National Stock Numbers (NSNs). This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because the government does not possess complete unrestrictive technical data for these supplies and is limited to using only approved sources. The agency is considering a future solicitation for an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC/LTC) and seeks to identify alternate manufacturers capable of producing these specialized items. A critical requirement for any alternate offeror is the provision of a complete data package that includes technical data for both the approved and alternate parts to enable proper evaluation. Interested parties must respond to the market research questionnaire by October 22, 2025, which is seven days from the posting date.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified suppliers. No current contractors or incumbents are specifically identified in the notice, as the agency is actively seeking new sources through this market research effort. While specific award values are not disclosed, the potential contract structure involves an Indefinite Quantity Contract that could span 3 to 5 years in length, likely structured with a three-year base period and one or two one-year option periods. The market research spreadsheet contains detailed information about estimated annual demand quantities and potential quantity pricing ranges for the four NSN items, though specific quantities and values are not revealed in the public notice. The extended contract timeline suggests this is a substantial procurement effort designed to establish long-term supply arrangements for these critical electronic components.
