ANTENNA ASSEMBLY

The Government, through the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Missile Contracting Activity (DLA-AHCA), has issued a Firm Fixed Price presolicitation for the procurement of six critical hardware components for the A-CL Weapon System. The solicitation, identified as SPRRA1-26-R-0036, seeks to acquire 28 units each of the following items: an Antenna Assembly, Radar Processor, Radar Receiver Coupler, Radio Frequency Cable Assembly, Special Purpose Electrical Cable Assembly, and Receiver Processor. Each item is specified by National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and part numbers, and falls under relevant NAICS codes ranging primarily within the electronics and radar manufacturing sectors (334419, 335511, 334511, and 335931). Delivery is required to the DODAAC SW3113 at Cherry Point, North Carolina, with production lead times varying from 270 to 1,350 days after contract award depending on the item and whether a Contractor First Article Test (CFAT) is required. The contract documentation emphasizes strict source control and manufacturing requirements aligned with DoD-STD-100, restricting certain components to specific approved manufacturers, notably Lockheed Martin (CAGE code 03640). Offerors must be prequalified and obtain source approval through the SAMSAR system, and foreign bidders are instructed to submit solicitation requests via their national embassies. Although the package lacks detailed pricing information, evaluation criteria, and formal FAR/DFARS clauses, it underscores a clear FFP acquisition strategy likely aligned with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach. Inspection and acceptance are anticipated to occur at destination upon delivery at Cherry Point with the contractor responsible for initial quality assurance through CFAT. Submission of proposals is via email to the Contract Specialist Kimberley Collier by May 22, 2026, with no additional attachments, detailed pricing, or clause specifics provided in this presolicitation notice.
