About this opportunity
The Air Force Test Center at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, is conducting a sole-source procurement for nine brand-name GPS antenna components with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, and an anticipated award date of June 25, 2026. The acquisition is restricted to Southeast Aerospace, Inc., based on a Determination & Findings finding that only Southeast Aerospace antennas meet the mandatory Size, Weight, and Power parameters, extreme environmental survivability ratings, and strict two-week delivery requirement; competing commercial alternatives would require costly Engineering Change Proposals and cause program delays. The government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Commercial Purchase Order under FAR 12.102(b) authority.
The GPS antenna components must operate at dual frequencies (L1: 1565–1585 MHz and L2: 1217–1237 MHz) with right-hand circular polarization, 50-ohm impedance, 26.5 dB gain, and 2.8 dB noise figure. Physical specifications require 6061-T6 aluminum construction with thermoset plastic and skydrol-resistant enamel finish, TNC connector, white color, 7-ounce weight, 3.50-inch diameter, and 0.70-inch height. The antenna must withstand temperatures from −80°F to +203°F, 10-G vibration, altitudes up to 70,000 feet, 1-watt power handling, and DC-grounded lightning protection. Delivery is required within two weeks after receipt of order.
Interested parties may submit written statements demonstrating capability by 10:00 AM Central Daylight Time on June 16, 2026, electronically and at no cost to the government. Contact Brittany Linthicome at brittany.linthicome@us.af.mil for questions. NAICS 334511; PSC 5826.
