The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through the 424th Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research for the procurement of Receiver-Transmitter units (Part Number 822-3616-001, NSN 5820-01-431-3579FW). This Sources Sought Synopsis aims to identify potential manufacturing sources capable of producing these radio and television communication equipment spare parts. Contractors must demonstrate capabilities in component parts procurement, inspection, testing, packaging, shipping, supply chain management, logistics planning, and addressing potential manufacturing source challenges. Interested vendors are required to complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package and submit their business information through specified channels via DoD SAFE electronic transmission to designated email contacts. The submission deadline for responses to this market research inquiry is September 17, 2025.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all business types, including Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. The government has identified an estimated requirement for 23 spare units of the Receiver-Transmitter equipment. No incumbent contractors or current award values are specified in the pre-solicitation documentation. The notice represents a new spares procurement initiative, suggesting this may be an initial effort to establish manufacturing sources for these specific aircraft communication components. The timeline focuses on the immediate market research phase, with the September 17, 2025 deadline marking the conclusion of the sources sought period.
