This radar transponder will enable the Mobility Air Force to maintain Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) capabilities while selectively inhibiting open-air position reporting systems such as ADS-B Out and ATC Select. The procured units will support end users across the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), Air National Guard (ANG), and United States Air Force (USAF). Key contract requirements include compliance with higher-level quality standards such as ISO 9001-2015 and AS9100 certification, utilization of the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rating DO: A7, and adherence to Buy American Act requirements. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the contractor's origin facility. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 13, 2026, with a deadline of February 28, 2026 for interested parties to respond.
This procurement is designated as a non-competitive sole-source contract with no set-aside provisions. Raytheon (CAGE: 06845), a business affiliate of RTX Corporation, is the identified sole responsible source capable of providing the required transponder. The contract will be awarded as a subsumable order against the existing DLA Umbrella Contract SPRBL1-25-D-0006, a twenty-year supplier capabilities agreement established with RTX Corporation on August 1, 2025, with a maximum ceiling of $50 billion. The delivery timeline for the transponders is 730 calendar days from contract award. The solicitation incorporates standard FAR and DFARS clauses applicable to defense procurements, with Veronica S. Henderson serving as the contracting officer and Nicole R Furlough as the ombudsman. Payment will be processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system with invoice submissions required.
