About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen, acting on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center, is conducting a market survey to procure digital computer equipment (NSN 7021-01-675-4790) for the AN/MSQ-135 Mobile Tower System (MOTS), a rapidly deployable air traffic control tower and airfield lighting system used by the Army. The MOTS provides digital air/ground communications and integrates with the Army Airspace Command and Control and Air Traffic Services networks. This pre-solicitation notice is issued for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment by the government. Interested vendors are requested to demonstrate their capability to supply replacement parts that meet form, fit, and function requirements, as the government does not possess the technical data package for this equipment. The deadline for submission of capability information is March 23, 2026, with the notice posted on March 9, 2026. Evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to identify and supply a legitimate replacement for the previously procured circuit card assembly, which had compatibility issues when integrated into the MOTS platform.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. The previous vendor supplied 14 units of the digital computer through delivery order SPRBL124F0119 on July 5, 2024; however, the government has determined that alternative sources must be identified to resolve the technical issues encountered. The estimated initial production requirement is 14 units of the digital computer component, though the government emphasizes that these quantities are projections and subject to change at the time of formal solicitation. No specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in this market survey notice. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC code 1220 (Fire Control Computing Sights and Devices). As a market survey rather than a formal solicitation, this notice serves as the initial phase for identifying capable vendors who can support the Army's requirement for a replacement digital computer system that addresses the deficiencies of the previous procurement.

Notice text

Requirements Description:

The items to be procured are for the AN/MSQ-135 Mobile Tower System (MOTS). The MOTS is a rapidly deployable, air traffic control (ATC) tower and Airfield Lighting System (ALS) that quickly establishes Air Traffic Services (ATS).

The Government does not possess specifications or detailed drawings for the referenced system.

Please note that this is not a Request for Proposal. This notice is provided for planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government.

The following are the Army’s estimated forecasts* for initial production:

The circuit card assembly was last purchased on 07/05/2024 through delivery order SPRBL124F0119 for a quantity of 14ea.

However, it was determined that we will need to work with another vendor to identify a legitimate replacement. The previous part number purchased had multiple issues when trying to load the laptops into the MOTS. No replacement or feasibility study was done to identify a new item for form, fit, and function replacement.
