The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers for the E-3 AIC-28 Audio Frequency Amplifier, a high voltage steering circuit card assembly used in F-15 and F-16 LANTIRN Radar Modulators. The agency seeks qualified manufacturers with expertise in producing this specialized electronic component for military aircraft systems. Interested parties must demonstrate their capabilities and technical competence to meet the detailed requirements of this contract opportunity. The market research phase requires potential vendors to submit their interest and capabilities to Robert Berg via email by March 7, 2025, which serves as the closing deadline for responses.

The contract falls under NAICS category 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with a specific Product Service Code (PSC) of 5998 for Electrical and Electronic Assemblies. No specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the notice, and the government explicitly states that no funds are available to compensate vendors for response preparation. The opportunity is strictly voluntary, and the government maintains no binding commitment to award a contract as a result of this market research synopsis. Potential manufacturers interested in supporting F-15 and F-16 aircraft electronics are encouraged to demonstrate their technical capabilities and production readiness.
