About this opportunity

The Federal Aviation Administration intends to award a single source contract to Stellant Systems of Torrance, California for evaluation and repair services of Klystron Tubes, NSN 5960-01-550-8038, in support of the agency's Airport Surveillance Radar systems. The klystron tubes are essential components of the radar systems used to monitor air traffic and weather patterns for aircraft approaches. A market survey conducted in February received no responses, so the FAA will utilize single source procedures in accordance with the agency's acquisition regulations. Interested parties must address all questions to the Contracting Officer in writing by March 25, 2024.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The projected NAICS code is 811210 for electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance, with a size standard of $12.5 million. Stellant Systems is the expected incumbent and current contractor for these services. The pre-solicitation notice does not provide any estimated award values or quantity of klystron tubes but indicates this is an ongoing contract to support FAA radar systems on an as-needed basis.
