Sources Sought Notice for 415th Transmitter IDIQ

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research through this Sources Sought Notice for the 415th JTE and UMTE Programs to identify potential contractors capable of providing transmitter repair and sustainment services. The procurement seeks information regarding the availability of commercial items, non-developmental items, or alternative sources for 16 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) within the electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance sector (NAICS 811210). Key objectives include identifying capable sources, improving small business access to acquisition information, and enhancing overall competition through identification of prime and subcontracting opportunities. The government has determined that supplies are currently available from limited sources with incomplete specifications and no available data rights for alternative sourcing, necessitating this market research effort. All responses must be submitted no later than March 22, 2026, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time to the contracting office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with primary contacts Wyatt Snare and Chao Chen. The document explicitly states this is a sources sought notice for market research purposes only and is not a solicitation, request for proposal, or commitment to contract.

This procurement has no set-aside designation for small businesses, though small businesses are encouraged to contact identified firms regarding potential subcontracting opportunities. Applied Systems Engineering, Inc. (CAGE 3Z966) is identified as an incumbent or interested party in this acquisition. The estimated quantity and award values have not been specified in this sources sought notice, as this is preliminary market research rather than a formal solicitation. Foreign participation is not permitted at the prime contractor level, and all submissions must be submitted in English and quoted in U.S. dollars. The archive date for this notice is April 6, 2026, providing interested parties with approximately six weeks from the posting date to evaluate the opportunity and determine their capability to participate.
