About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure Joint Service Electronic Combat Systems Tester (JSECST) Circuit Card Assemblies through a firm fixed price request for proposal (RFP) on a sole source basis. The JSECST is a highly specialized electronic warfare system tester designed to provide automated end-to-end functional testing of electronic combat systems installed on operational military aircraft, including the F-15, F-16, A-10, C-130, and CV-22 Osprey. This organizational-level flightline system determines the go/no-go operational status of aircraft-installed electronic combat systems and components while offering diagnostic capabilities for malfunctions. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify formal evaluation criteria, as this is a sole source acquisition based on technical necessity and sole source justification rather than a competitive procurement. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 2, 2026, with a due date of February 17, 2026, providing potential offerors approximately two weeks to prepare submissions; however, the notice indicates this is informational only and does not constitute an official solicitation.
No set-aside designation applies to this procurement. Textron Systems Corporation (CAGE 97384) is identified as the sole source contractor and current equipment manufacturer for these circuit card assemblies, having designed, manufactured, and sustained the JSECST and associated sub-assemblies for more than twenty years. The Government does not possess any technical data, drawings, schematics, or other releasable documentation necessary to support the requirement, establishing Textron Systems Corporation as the only known source with adequate knowledge and technical capability to ensure equipment compatibility. The procurement involves eight distinct circuit card assembly line items with quantities ranging from one to nine units, identified by NSN part numbers and corresponding manufacturer part numbers. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, which is standard practice for sole source procurements of this nature.
