Solicitation # N0038326QNB29

This contract is for the procurement of 17 units of a flight critical display processor under NSN 7R-7010-015222097-LC, with delivery terms set as FOB Origin. Due to the critical nature of the part and the fact that essential technical data and manufacturing knowledge are held by specific sources, the government requires engineering source approval from the design control activity to ensure quality. The government intends to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1, though other responsible sources may submit capability statements or proposals within the specified timeframe for consideration. Prospective bidders who are not already approved sources must submit detailed information as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Source Approval Information Brochures. Failure to provide the required data or proof of a pending approval request will result in the proposal not being considered for award. The government maintains the discretion to proceed with a non-competitive award based on fleet support needs if new source approvals cannot be processed in time to meet operational requirements.

Solicitation # N0016426SNC05

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane, is seeking a two-year ordering period extension and ceiling increase for contract N0016426DGP87 to procure TR-143A Transducers, part number 7146100-302. These specialized components are critical to the SP24 Trident Navigation Subsystem, which supports the launch accuracy of U.S. Ohio and Columbia class submarines as well as UK Vanguard and Dreadnought class submarines. The transducers work with TR-333 Hydrophones to receive signals from the ocean floor and serve as essential replacement assets during standard refit and replenishment operations. This procurement is being conducted as a firm-fixed-price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract on a sole source basis with Massa Products Corporation. The government has designated this as a sole source action to avoid substantial duplication of costs, prevent unacceptable delays, and mitigate the extensive certification testing process that can take up to thirty-six months. While the government intends to negotiate with Massa Products Corporation, all responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration.

AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Air Force, through the Air Force Sustainment Center at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, is conducting a market research request for information (RFI) to identify potential non-commercial sources capable of manufacturing the B-52 Antenna APQ-166 Tilt Actuator, identified by NSN 5985-01-298-4543. The effort is governed under NAICS code 334511 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, and while no formal set-aside is currently designated, the government is actively seeking participation from small business concerns to inform potential future competitive award strategies, including full or partial small business set-asides. The contractor must be capable of producing the actuator to exact form, fit, and function specifications outlined in drawing 377-10807 and Technical Order 11B46-6-5-4, meeting performance criteria such as a slew rate exceeding 5.2 in/sec, specific stroke dimensions, and operation under 150 VDC and 26 VAC inputs, while complying with MIL-E-5400 Class 1 environmental standards. The original equipment manufacturer, MPC Products Corp., previously supplied the component, but the government does not own the technical data and considers acquisition of that data uneconomical, necessitating a new source. Respondents must demonstrate the ability to furnish all materials, subcomponents, tools, and test equipment, maintaining or exceeding the quality of the original parts, and must establish and maintain their own support and calibration systems. All responses must include a completed Contractor Capability Survey addressing business identity, size status, cybersecurity compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171, supply chain risk management, and foreign ownership or influence disclosures. Facilities and personnel must be cleared to handle and process information and systems classified up to Secret, and contractors are expected to have robust controls for data integrity, continuity of operations, and protection of controlled unclassified information. Responses are due by 5 June 2026 and must be submitted by email to the designated point of contact; no reimbursement is provided for participation costs. This RFI is strictly for market research under FAR 52.215-3 and is not a solicitation—no award is implied, and future solicitations will be posted on Federal Business Opportunities

Full Description

This RFI is being conducted to identify different potential Non-commercial sources in determining if a future contract effort can be competitively awarded and/or awarded on a total or partial Small Business Set-Aside basis. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this effort is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) with the Small Business Size Standard of 1250 employees.

The motor was previously provided by the original equipment manufacturer for this item, MPC Products Corp. (19710). The Government has a current requirement to develop a new source of supply for the tilt actuator. The technical data required to manufacture is not owned by the Government and it is uneconomical to acquire the data.

Contractor shall furnish all sub-components, material, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services. The contractor is responsible for providing, maintaining, and calibrating all support equipment required at their facility or a subcontractor’s facility. Contractor furnished material or parts used for replacement shall equal or exceed the quality of the original material or parts.

If the Government decides to award a contract for this or related effort, a solicitation will be published and posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website. The Government will use this information solely to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small business concerns.

Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey.

Interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Interested sources must maintain facilities and cleared personnel for manufacturing, handling, storing, and maintaining information and operating systems with security classifications up to and including Secret.
