About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is procuring Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) replacement avionics components for the AWACS DRAGON (Avionics for Global Operations and Navigation) program through a firm fixed price commercial supply acquisition. The procurement includes six Collins Aerospace line replaceable units (LRUs) specified in the Equipment List dated April 21, 2026, and will be awarded as a sole source contract under the authority of RFO 6.103-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which permits awards when only one responsible source exists. This is a pre-solicitation notice rather than a competitive Request for Proposals, and the government has determined that Collins Aerospace is the only supplier capable of satisfying the agency's requirements. No formal competitive evaluation will occur, and interested parties should direct inquiries to Mrs. Dawn M. Thompson at dawn.thompson.7@us.af.mil at AFLCMC/WIWK, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. Collins Aerospace, identified by CAGE 84T51 and NAICS code 334419, is the intended sole source awardee and presumably the current contractor for these specialized avionics components. The spares list specifies quantities totaling 15 line replaceable units across six different component types: three Data Transfer Units, three Air Data Computers, three Control Display Units (CDU-7000E), two VHF Communications Transceivers, two Attitude Heading Computers, and two Communication Management Units. While no specific contract value or timeline for award is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the firm fixed price nature of the acquisition and the identified quantities provide a foundation for government planning and potential contractor preparation.
