5 Year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Contract for Radio Frequency Amplifier NSN

The Department of Defense, through DLA Maritime Mechanicsburg, is pursuing a five-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the procurement of Radio Frequency Amplifiers identified by NSN 5996-015575337 and Part Number DB-5601. This acquisition is being conducted on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unavailability of alternative sources, as the Government does not own or have access to the technical data required to source the part from other vendors, and reverse engineering is deemed uneconomical. The contract will require delivery of approximately 50 units annually over the base period, with potential for up to four option years, and deliveries are scheduled as required under an As Required Order (ARO) basis. The place of performance is identified as Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and all items must meet existing military and federal specifications, qualified product lists, and standards accessible via ASSIST-Online or DODSSP, though no specific MIL-STDs are named. The Government is not utilizing FAR Part 12 for commercial item acquisition and is not accepting proposals as a competitive solicitation, but is seeking capability statements from responsible sources within 45 days of publication to determine if competition is feasible. Respondents must demonstrate the item’s commerciality by providing evidence such as public price lists, commercial warranties, sales to the general public, and documentation showing the item’s characteristics match commercial equivalents, fulfilling seven specified requirements. Pricing information, including economic price adjustment terms for option years, must be submitted, along with company size status, CAGE codes, and Unique Entity ID, though no formal evaluation factors, weights, or award basis are detailed. Payment and contract administration will be handled by the DLA Maritime Mechanicsburg office, with all submissions accepted electronically via the DODSSP portal or email to the designated point of contact. Packaging, marking, and preservation standards are not specified but are presumed to align with general DoD directives such as MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073. The contract remains in presolicitation status, and no final pricing, ceiling value, or award determination has been made.
