About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awarded contract SPRHA4-26-C-0018 to Applied Systems Engineering, Inc. for nine radar transmitters (NSN/PN 5840-01656-461FD / A9070-060702) on a sole-source basis on June 30, 2026, under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).
The justification cites two bases: AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC B (item must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing). Market research included a Sources Sought Notice posted on March 16, 2026, which yielded no industry responses, supplemented by internet searches, Haystack for part information, JEDMICS for drawings, review of prior market research, and SAM.gov search. The justification notes that the contractor holds proprietary data and is unwilling to sell it; the Air Force regularly inquires with manufacturers regarding sharing or selling proprietary data rights but has been unsuccessful in this case. The contract is structured as a definitive firm fixed price with no options. The Contracting Officer approved the justification for an acquisition not exceeding $10 million.
