7 Time Zone Clocks

The Department of Defense, through agency FA5613, is seeking seven commercial-off-the-shelf multi-zone digital time display systems to support global logistics synchronization for the 86th Logistics Readiness Squadron at Ramstein, Rhineland-Palatinate. The requirement calls for a 6-zone digital clock system featuring high-visibility 7-segmented red LED digits with a minimum height of 4.0 inches, readable from at least 125 feet under standard office lighting without glare. Each unit must maintain precise timekeeping using a Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) with automatic daylight saving adjustments and include an internal battery backup capable of retaining time, date, and programmed location settings for a minimum of five years without external power. The system must be configurable via a non-networked infrared remote and constructed with a durable aluminum frame suitable for standard wall mounting. The clocks must display six independent time zones simultaneously using programmable digital fields for zone identification and comply with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). No set-asides are applicable due to the location in Germany, and all responsible sources are invited to express interest, though no quotes will be accepted at this pre-solicitation stage. The acquisition will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LTPA) process, meaning the contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced offeror whose technical proposal meets all mandatory requirements outlined in the Salient Characteristics document. The solicitation number is F3N0616023A009, posted on June 17, 2026, with a response deadline of July 1, 2026. Funding has not yet been received, so the award date remains undetermined.
