About this opportunity
The U.S. Naval Air System Command (NAVAIR) PMA 260, through the GSA Federal Acquisition Service, is seeking to procure Wiring Intermittent Fault Testers (WIFTs) for naval aviation applications. This specialized testing equipment is designed to detect intermittent electrical faults in aircraft wiring systems, which is critical for maintaining aviation safety and operational readiness. The procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition with Astronics Corporation identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and exclusive designer, developer, and manufacturer of the required WIFTs. The justification for sole source procurement emphasizes that Astronics possesses proprietary design information and exclusive technical data rights that cannot be replicated by other manufacturers. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 8, 2025, with a response deadline of July 15, 2025, under solicitation number 47QSWC25K0044.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 334515 for Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals. Astronics Corporation is positioned as the sole viable vendor due to their proprietary technical expertise and exclusive manufacturing capabilities for these specialized fault testing instruments. The procurement strategy aims to reduce potential schedule delays associated with standard procurement and contracting lead times by sourcing directly from the OEM. The document indicates that alternative manufacturers would require consultation with Astronics to develop appropriate support packages for the WIFTs, further reinforcing the sole source justification. While specific award values, quantities, or delivery timelines are not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement falls under PSC category 6625 for Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments.
