About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center is seeking to procure 20 V/UHF/MUOS6 Antennas (National Stock Number 5985-01-667-0495, Part Number AV 2091-11) for installation on Coast Guard aircraft to replace ARC-210 Gen 4 radios with ARC-210 Gen 6 radio MUOS antennas. This solicitation is structured as a combined synopsis/solicitation under FAR subpart 12.6 and part 13, constituting the only solicitation document with no separate written solicitation to be issued. All items must be new approved parts with clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer, and contractors must furnish a Certificate of Conformance in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The evaluation will be conducted using the lowest-priced, technically acceptable method, with technical acceptability based on the ability to provide items with clear OEM traceability and proper certification documentation. The quotation deadline is August 18, 2025, allowing only five days from the posting date of August 13, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and the Coast Guard intends to award directly to Frontgrade Technologies Inc. (CAGE Code 66544) as the sole source supplier, though all responsible sources may submit capability statements or quotations for consideration. The justification for sole source procurement is based on Frontgrade Technologies being the exclusive proprietor of the antenna technology with proprietary data rights not subject to disclosure outside the buyer or U.S. Government. The contract requires delivery within 32 weeks to Elizabeth City, North Carolina, with early and partial deliveries acceptable. While the specific contract value is not disclosed in the solicitation documents, the procurement involves 20 units of specialized aviation antenna equipment for Coast Guard aircraft modernization efforts. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334511 for navigation and aeronautical system manufacturing and PSC code 5985 for antennas and related equipment.
