About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Hill Air Force Base is conducting a Sources Sought market research effort to procure a replacement zenith panel for an AN/FPS-124 Radar system. Specifically, the Atmospheric Early Warning System (AEWS) Program Management Office seeks a single composite-material radome zenith panel with NSN 6110-01-723-2208 that functionally replaces an existing panel. The replacement panel must include critical accessories like an acrylic dome, photocell/thermostat, lightning rod, and radio antennae mounting points, while also incorporating a mandatory personnel fall-arrest system with four anchor points compliant with OSHA 1910.140 safety standards. Interested vendors are required to submit white papers in unprotected PDF format by April 2, 2025, at 14:00 Mountain Standard Time, with submissions limited to 10 pages of text/mixed content and 5 additional pages for visual documentation. The government intends to conduct market research to verify vendor capabilities and potential single-source award.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this procurement, and the opportunity is open to potential vendors in the Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing sector (NAICS 334511). While no specific award value is mentioned, the solicitation focuses on acquiring a single zenith panel assembly with integrated fall-protection systems. The procurement appears targeted and specialized, suggesting potential for a relatively modest contract value commensurate with the specific equipment requirements. Vendors will be responsible for all costs associated with preparing their submissions, and non-response will not prevent future participation in subsequent solicitations. The procurement is categorized under Product Service Code N059 for Installation of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components, signaling the technical complexity of the required equipment.
