AI Contract Overview
The contract pertains to the procurement of an antenna assembly identified by NSN 5985-01-423-4661, with BAE SYSTEMS INFORMATION AND ELECTRONIC as the sole approved source using part number 1003004G3. The acquisition is governed by AMC "3" and AMSC "Q" designations, meaning the item must be sourced directly from the original manufacturer and the government does not possess sufficient technical data or rights to enable competitive procurement from alternative sources. Although the part has undergone full screening for over a year, efforts to secure the necessary data rights or economically obtain them have not yet enabled breakout to competition, though actions are actively underway to achieve this goal, potentially through reverse engineering or other technical development initiatives. Responses are requested from potential manufacturers capable of producing the antenna assembly to match or exceed the quality of the current approved source. Submissions must be provided by the response deadline of July 17, 2026, and directed to Contract Specialist Zachary Rodriguez at DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio. Companies seeking qualification as an approved source must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request package through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program, documenting their ability to meet or surpass the OEM’s specifications. Full guidelines for the SAR process are available via the DLA Land and Maritime website, with no set-aside provisions applied to this solicitation and the NAICS code 334220 indicating classification under Communications Equipment Manufacturing.
