This contract involves the delivery of 46 units of a specified item, with an initial first article requirement of 3 units to be delivered within 3 calendar days for government testing at Tinker Air Force Base. The government will conduct first article testing, and within 180 days will notify the contractor of the approval status. The first article units will be retained by the government either for testing destruction or as manufacturing standards and are separate from the production quantity. Due to fluctuating demands, offerors are encouraged to submit quantity ranges in their quotes to allow flexibility without additional administrative steps if requirements change. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with domestic material restrictions such as the Berry Amendment and the Buy American Act, and prohibits covered telecommunications equipment or services in accordance with federal regulations. It also outlines forthcoming changes in vendor system access, requiring contractors to register with the Department of Defense’s Account Management & Provisioning System (AMPS) to utilize the Vendor Shipment Module. Additive manufacturing is generally not authorized unless specifically approved. The contract is managed by the Air Supply Center Commodities Division of the Department of Defense with Katelyn Williams as the point of contact, and quotations are due by May 21, 2026.

The first article units will be held by the Government, either destroyed in testing or maintained as a manufacturing standard. The contractor will be required to produce/deliver the full quantity indicated on the contract order, the first article units will not be part of the production quantity.
Due to the volatility of demands, and frequent quantity changes on open
purchase requests, offerors are highly encouraged to submit quantity
ranges when quoting. If a PR is evaluated manually, quoting ranges
provides the buyer the option to combine requirements or reduce the
quantity as needed without resoliciting or adding any additional
administrative burden for either party involved when making an award.

SECTION A
This does not apply to Auto IDC.
If you anticipate quoting on a solicitation after the closing date,
please submit a DIBBS quote with a bid type of “No Bid” and place an
anticipated quote date or the reason you are not willing to quote. This
does not prevent you from submitting an actual quote on DIBBS at a later
date. It will overlay your previous no quote. This informs buyers of
your intention to quote and prevents multiple calls for updates and
cancelling of requirements assumed to be non-procurable due to no
quotes/sources. The submission of an anticipated quote date does not
preclude DLA from making an award to another acceptable timely offer.
