First Article Testing (FAT) Services – RF Performance Validation

The contract seeks qualified vendors to perform first article testing on RFCBA prototypes at the manufacturer’s facility, focusing on validating RF performance, signal integrity, and environmental resilience under operational conditions. Testing must meet stringent technical benchmarks to ensure the prototypes function as intended in real-world scenarios, with all results documented and submitted for review. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541330, indicating specialized engineering and technical services, and is sponsored by the Department of Defense through the FA8507 Alcmc Eskc office, with performance centered in Warner Robins. Proposals must be submitted by August 22, 2026, at 4:00 PM, with no set-aside provisions specified, leaving the opportunity open to all eligible contractors. The absence of a point of contact or detailed location beyond the city suggests that further communication will be initiated through the SAM.gov portal after submission. While no funding amount or contract duration is provided, the scope implies a focused, high-priority validation effort critical to advancing defense-related RF component development. Contractors must demonstrate proven capability in RF testing, environmental stress evaluation, and compliance with defense-grade technical standards.
