About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify qualified manufacturers for the Direction Finder Control (NSN 5825-01-566-7710, P/N 100892-200), a navigation system component used on the TH-1H helicopter. This pre-solicitation notice seeks to establish sources capable of producing this equipment while maintaining compatibility with the VOR/ILS Air Navigation System. The government has indicated its intent to award a sole source contract under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source), citing that the original equipment manufacturer possesses exclusive knowledge of performance requirements and necessary technical data. Interested parties must demonstrate their expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification and production requirements by submitting expressions of interest no later than April 3, 2026. Responses should be directed to Danielle Crosby (danielle.crosby@us.af.mil) and Vanessa Moes (vanessa.moes.1@us.af.ml). This notice is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute a binding solicitation or commitment by the government.
Executive Instruments, INC (CAGE 24363) is currently identified as the sole source incumbent and the original equipment manufacturer of the Direction Finder Control. No set-aside designations have been applied to this procurement. The government does not own technical data, drawings, schematics, or other releasable documentation necessary for production, which has created an impediment to competition and supports the justification for sole source procurement. No contract value or specific quantity requirements are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. This market research effort serves to identify alternative sources before the government proceeds with awarding a sole source contract to the incumbent manufacturer for the TH-1H helicopter program support.
