Signal processor

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia, is soliciting quotations for two units of an E7 Signal Processor (NSN 7RH 1680-01-700-6580), a critical aviation component classified as a Critical Application Item (CAI). This Request for Quotations (SPRPA1-26-Q-ZB02) is being procured under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF) Authority due to urgent operational needs. Contractors must comply with extensive packaging and marking requirements per MIL-STD-2073-1, implement cyber security measures consistent with NIST SP 800-171 standards, and obtain Government source approval prior to award given the flight-critical nature of the item. Evaluation criteria will prioritize past performance and Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) assessments over price considerations. Quotations are due by April 24, 2026, with no additional question deadlines specified in the solicitation notice.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and requires delivery within 90 days to DJA008 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the contractor's origin. No incumbent contractor or award value is specified in the available solicitation documents. The item has a shelf life designation of 0-00 and is subject to foreign military sales (FMS) delivery instructions, indicating potential international compliance requirements. Contractors must provide representations and certifications regarding small business status, foreign ownership, tax compliance, veteran employment, and adherence to applicable trade agreements and domestic sourcing requirements. The limited number of approved sources for this flight-critical component and the Government source approval requirement suggest a restrictive competitive environment with high technical and quality standards.
