About this opportunity
The Air Force's 19th Communications Squadron is procuring PRC158 Tactical Radios through solicitation FA446025Q0033 to provide secure and non-secure voice and data connectivity for tactical satellite, beyond line of sight, and line of sight communications during operations, advanced echelon, and initial reception of forces. The procurement specifically seeks L3Harris Falcon IV AN/PRC-158 Multi-channel Manpack radio systems, which are NSA-certified with Type 1 encryption capabilities and operate across frequencies from 30 MHz to 2.5 GHz, supporting multiple communication bands including VHF, UHF, SATCOM, and MUOS. Vendors must submit quotes by September 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The evaluation process will rank responsive offers by price first, then conduct technical evaluations starting with the lowest-priced offer to determine "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" ratings, with technical capability and past performance weighted equally. The government requires at least three offerors to receive "Acceptable" ratings before making an award to the offer representing the best value.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334220 with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and L3Harris Corporation is identified as the current source for these specific radio systems based on their status as the sole manufacturer of JTRS-compliant PRC-158 radios. The solicitation includes various radio equipment and accessories, specifically requiring 2 AN/PRC-158 (V)1(C) Commercial GPS radios along with software options, multiple antenna types, cables, battery components, and related accessories. Delivery must be completed within 30 calendar days from the award date, with all items delivered to Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, where TSgt Derek Gauldin will handle inspection and acceptance. The government has awarded similar contracts to L3Harris in the past, including contracts FA2522123F0183, FA251723P0024, and FA462122P0054 for tactical radios. A1C Emmanuel Okindo serves as the primary point of contact for questions regarding this solicitation and can be reached at emmanuel.okindo.1@us.af.mil or 501-987-8113.
