About this opportunity

The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service issued this sole source justification notice on April 15, 2026, for Purchase Order 47QSWC26P0009 awarded to Aviation Devices and Electronic Components, LLC (AvDEC) for P-8A Antenna Gasket Kits supporting the U.S. Navy's P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. The procurement encompasses eight antenna gasket variants (USN, AUS, UK, NO, NZ, KS, GY, and CN models) with quantities ranging from 4 to 140 units per variant, to be delivered within a 12-week performance period. The sole source justification rests on AvDEC's status as the exclusive designer, developer, and manufacturer of the proprietary antenna gaskets integrated into the P-8A platform, with any alternative source requiring approximately four years of testing, certification, and qualification that would disrupt ongoing production and maintenance schedules. Market research supporting this determination included a Notice of Intent posted to SAM.gov in December 2025 that generated no competitive responses, and direct confirmation from AvDEC that no authorized distributors exist for these components. While the contract value is redacted in the published document, the award was determined through fair and reasonable pricing analysis utilizing market research, historical purchase comparisons, and independent Government estimates conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(4) and FAR 12.102(b) authority.
