The government plans to issue a firm fixed price request for proposal by March 5, 2026, exclusively to Lockheed Martin Corporation for the production of 42 units of the C-130 nose radome, part number 3333921-1, used on C-130H and C-130J aircraft. This radome, which is expected to remain in service through 2034, is a critical component that houses radar and landing system equipment, requiring precise maintenance of a radar window for optimal transmission efficiency. Lockheed Martin, as the original equipment manufacturer, along with General Dynamics—a previous subcontractor for this item—are the only known sources with production experience, limiting competition for this procurement. The procurement is managed by DLA Aviation at Warner Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, and falls under NAICS code 336413, covering aircraft manufacturing. This presolicitation notice is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract. Potential respondents are advised that no funds are available for proposal preparation, and submissions are voluntary without obligation on the part of the government. Primary points of contact for this procurement are available at the Department of Defense office in Warner Robins, emphasizing a sole source acquisition approach due to the specialized nature and limited manufacturing sources of the radome assembly.
