Telemetry Transmitter - Edwards AFBThe U.S. Air Force Test Center at Edwards AFB is seeking to procure 15 each of the Quasonix QSX-VQR6-1110-10-64-24AL-AC-C7-CF-DP-HR-LD6-STC airborne transmitters and 15 associated QSX-AC-34-HS-28V-SP heat sink fans on a sole source basis from Quasonix, Inc. This procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul, due to the strictly configuration-controlled nature of the DFTI telemetry subsystem governed by engineering drawing 2GWE04061-0001. Only the specified Quasonix components meet the exact form, fit, and function requirements, including physical dimensions, electrical pinouts, thermal dissipation limits, and dual-channel Space-Time Coding protocols. Substituting any other transmitter would necessitate a full mechanical redesign of the mounting chassis, rewiring of aircraft-level systems, and reassessment of airworthiness certifications, which is deemed technically unfeasible and contractually unacceptable. The solicitation is issued as a combined synopsis and solicitation under FAR Subpart 12.2 for commercial items, with responses required by July 24, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST. Although the intent is sole source, all responsible sources may submit capability statements or quotations, which will be evaluated solely to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted. The acquisition is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334511 and PSC code 5821, with applicable clauses including FAR 52.212-1, -3, and -4. The contracting office is the Air Force Test Center, PZZG, located at Edwards AFB, California, with primary point of contact Jamil Minosa and secondary contact Anne Beach. The system was originally designed by Lockheed Martin and remains under strict configuration control, making adherence to the approved baseline mandatory for flight safety and program continuity.

Only authorized Boeing resellers may submit offers, and the acquisition is governed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures as a Request for Quote using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method, where technical acceptability—specifically the ability to deliver the exact MMRS licenses and support as defined in the TRP—is a mandatory threshold that must be met before price is considered. The contract has a five-year period of performance comprising a base year and four one-year option periods, with delivery FOB destination to be specified by the offeror and lead times clearly stated. Offerors must submit a complete written quote via email to Jenna Jacobson by July 24, 2026, 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, with no late submissions accepted, and files must not exceed 10 MB.

All submissions must comply with FAR 52.212-1 and 52.212-4, and failures to include required elements will render offers non-responsive.
