About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center is seeking high-power cables and connectors for Precision Navigation and Timing (PNT) Operational Field Assessments (POFA) and high-power jamming environments. The solicitation requires 58 coaxial cables and 40 connectors with stringent technical specifications, including the ability to transmit 800-2000 MHz RF signals, operate in extreme temperatures from -55C to 200C, and handle 1500 watts of power. Specifically, the cables must use SFT-600 or equivalent cable with specific connector types (7/16 DIN and N-type) in lengths of 10', 35', and 75'. The solicitation (FA9401-25-Q-0027) was issued on April 3, 2025, with quotes due by April 15, 2025, at 1200 hours Mountain Standard Time. Potential offerors must submit quotes via email to Amanda Decker and Anna Hartkopp, following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 guidelines.
The procurement is a total small business set-aside with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 335921 for Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing. The cables will be delivered to Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with the specific delivery address to be specified in the resulting contract. The cables must meet additional technical requirements, including a maximum line loss of 5.1 dB/100ft, a minimum bend radius of 3.0 inches, a maximum weight of 0.25 pounds per foot, and an IP 67 outdoor rating for weatherproofing. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract will be firm-fixed price and is intended to support navigation warfare (NAVWAR) capabilities by providing efficient power transfer from 1500-watt amplifiers to antennas with minimal power loss. The contracting activity will be managed by the 377 MSG/PKB, with ongoing market research to explore potential alternative cable brands in the future.
