About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, New Jersey intends to establish a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement with Milpower, Inc. (CAGE: 06GW1) on a sole source basis for power amplifiers used in naval Radio Communications Systems. The procurement covers various configurations including ARC-210 and Digital Modular Radio systems required for Ultra High Frequency/Very High Frequency systems, Satellite Communications systems, and MQ-25 Ground Control Systems supporting United States Coast Guard vessels. The government intends to negotiate under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source can satisfy the agency requirements. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, the government will consider all responses received within fifteen days of publication. All responses must be submitted by August 14, 2025, and inquiries should be directed to Contract Specialist Jacob Zucker at Jacob.a.zucker.civ@us.navy.mil.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and specifically targets Milpower, Inc. as the sole source contractor due to their status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, distributor, and developer of the required systems. Milpower produces the 100/200-Watt power amplifiers and Mobile User Objective System compatible 200-watt power amplifiers that meet established form, fit, and function requirements for the radio communications systems. These amplifiers are uniquely designed to be compatible with pre-existing cabling and operating software while meeting specific weight, size, and power requirements. The government anticipates issuing delivery orders under the Basic Ordering Agreement on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis over the five-year contract period. Registration in the System for Award Management is mandatory for any potential respondents, and the government reserves discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.
