About this opportunity
The 700th Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa, is soliciting quotes for FY26 603 AOC SATCOM Base Stations & Technical Support under solicitation number FA561326Q0009. The procurement covers SATCOM Base Station upgrades (Part Number 01-P42420H005), technical assistance, and related travel support for performance at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. This is a sole source requirement, and the Government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order based on fair and reasonable pricing without discussions, though the Contracting Officer reserves the right to conduct interchanges as appropriate. Offerors must submit detailed cost breakdowns including labor categories, hours, rates, technical descriptions, and itemized travel estimates to support price reasonableness evaluation. Responses are due by March 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central European Time, with written questions required by March 11, 2026, at 12:00 PM CET. The anticipated award date is March 17, 2026.
This procurement is not a set-aside and is intended as a sole source award to General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. (UEI: S4ZAF64LJ1G3), based on the requirement for the original equipment manufacturer to maintain compatibility with existing HOOK 2 PRC-112G survival radios and proprietary system interfaces already integrated with the Government's equipment. Contract performance includes four contract line items: an SBS-112 SATCOM Base Station upgrade with FZ 55 Laptop, three days of on-site technical assistance, airfare to Ramstein Air Base, and lodging and per diem. Delivery is required within 30 days of order receipt on an FOB Destination basis, with only new equipment acceptable. All quotes must be submitted in U.S. dollars via email, remain valid for 180 days, and offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database with active UEI, CAGE code, Tax ID, and small business status certifications. Performance will take place at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
Notice text
SOLICITATON NOTICE: The 700th Contracting Squadron (700 CONS) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order on a sole source basis to General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. (GDMS); (Unique Entity ID: S4ZAF64LJ1G3). This intended contract will cover GDMS-brand SATCOM Base Stations & Technical Support. The anticipated award date is 17 March 2026.
Pursuant to FAR Overhaul 6.103-1(c)(2)(ii), this requirement is a follow-on acquisition for the continued support and upgrade of highly specialized equipment currently fielded by the 603 AOC. The SATCOM Base Station (P/N: SBS-112) is already integrated with existing HOOK 2 PRC-112G survival radios in use by the Government. The required upgrade and technical assistance must be performed by the OEM to ensure compatibility with existing hardware, software, and proprietary system interfaces. Award to any source other than General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government due to the need to replace existing equipment and revalidate system compatibility. Additionally, transitioning to another source would cause unacceptable delays in meeting operational requirements. Accordingly, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement.
This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. However interested parties may submit a capability statement upon the referenced deadline within the attached solicitation (FA561326Q0009) demonstrating their ability to perform the requirement described herein. Upon receipt of any such notifications, the Contracting Officer will determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement or proceed with sole source action. Responses received will be evaluated, however; a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the 700 CONS will proceed with the sole source award to GDMS.
See attached solicitation (COMBO-SOLICITATION FA561326Q0009)
