Conversion of RT-1939(C)/ARC H-1 radios to RT-1939A(C)/ARC H-1 radios

The Naval Air Systems Command, specifically PMA-209 and PMA-276, awarded a sole-source delivery order to Rockwell Collins Government Systems in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the conversion of 279 RT-1939(C)/ARC H-1 radios to the RT-1939A(C)/ARC H-1 configuration for H-1 aircraft. This procurement was conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, as Rockwell Collins Government Systems is the sole developer of the ARC-210 family of products and holds the proprietary rights to the radio equipment, making them the only source capable of fulfilling the requirement. The action is part of a broader effort involving the AN/ARC-210(V) electronic protection radio program, which includes comprehensive support such as repairs, spare parts, engineering, and training for Department of Defense activities and foreign military sales customers. This specific award is linked to a larger Basic Ordering Agreement with an estimated funding value of 83.6 million dollars and an authority expiration date of September 30, 2021. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 334220 and was managed by the Naval Air Systems Command office located in Patuxent River, Maryland.
