About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center is seeking to procure IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) test sets and associated software through a combined synopsis/solicitation prepared under FAR subpart 12.6 and part 13. Specifically, the Coast Guard requires two T-47/M5 IFF Test Sets and two Level 2B Software Upgrade units from Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp., which has been identified as the sole source Original Equipment Manufacturer. All items must be new approved parts with clear, complete, and auditable traceability documentation back to the OEM, and contractors must provide a Certificate of Conformance in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The contract will be awarded to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror, with technical acceptability evaluated based on the ability to provide new OEM items with proper certification and traceability. The solicitation was posted on August 21, 2025, with quotations due by August 26, 2025, allowing only five days for response preparation.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is structured as a sole source acquisition with Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (CAGE Code 92606) identified as the incumbent and only known supplier. The justification for other than full and open competition is based on Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. being the OEM that owns the technical data, performance specifications, and drawings for the test sets, with no other sources able to provide the required technical data or repair facilities. The procurement requires delivery within 270 days after receipt of order, with partial deliveries acceptable, and all items will be shipped to the Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement involves specialized testing equipment for comprehensive evaluation of TACAN Receiver Transmitters and various air traffic control modes including TCAS, E-TCAS, and ADS-B systems.
