Solicitation # N0038326QF165
The U.S. Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia, is seeking a sole source repair for one Control Display Unit with National Stock Number 6605-016040696 and part number 292A860-3, designated as a Critical Application Item under FMS Case SR-P-MAL. Due to the lack of sufficient, accurate, or legible technical data in government possession, the requirement cannot be competitively sourced and must be awarded under an existing Blanket Ordering Agreement to the current approved provider. The item is subject to Free Trade Agreements and the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement, requiring Government Source Approval prior to award, and delays in securing a new approved source would impede timely fulfillment. Proposers not already approved must submit all requested documentation as outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Brochure, or their proposal will be disqualified. The contract includes a 365-day induction period for the initial unit, with the government retaining the right to extend this period by an additional 365 days, and any unused capacity from the first year may be carried forward. Contractors must provide pricing for up to ten total units over the full contract term, including the initial unit, with separate pricing if costs change after the first year. The total contract value for evaluation purposes will be based on the highest proposed unit price multiplied by the maximum quantity. Offers must be submitted by August 5, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to Dana Scott at the provided email address.

ASR-8 and ASR-9 Encoders
Solicitation # 6973GH-26-MS-00006
The FAA is seeking information from potential vendors capable of supplying ASR-8 and ASR-9 encoders, critical components used in radar antenna systems for azimuth position tracking within the National Airspace System. These encoders, identified by specific part numbers and NSNs, are currently manufactured exclusively by Sensor Systems LLC and are formally approved under FAA configuration management control. Due to the lack of alternative suppliers, qualifying a new source would involve extensive engineering, testing, and production delays that risk prolonged outages at multiple FAA facilities. This market survey is not a request for proposals but rather a tool to assess the availability of qualified competitors and determine if set-asides for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or 8(a) certified firms are feasible. The NAICS code is 334511 with a small business size standard of 1,350 employees. Interested vendors must submit a detailed capability statement including proof of rights to use OEM data, evidence of qualification and manufacturing capability, past performance details, and a copy of ISO 9001:2015 certification. Proof of active registration in SAM.gov is mandatory, and vendors claiming 8(a) or SDVOSB status must provide applicable certification letters. Responses must be emailed to the designated point of contact by August 14, 2026, at 2:00 pm CT and must be clearly marked with the solicitation number 6973GH-26-MS-00006. The FAA will not compensate vendors for costs incurred in preparing submissions. This initiative supports the FAA’s acquisition planning process and aims to identify viable sources to ensure continuity of critical radar system components. Additional support through the DOT Short Term Lending Program is available for eligible small and disadvantaged businesses seeking working capital for transportation-related contracts.
