Receiver, Countermeasure

The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, is pursuing a sole-source acquisition for 24 Countermeasure Receivers for the B-2 aircraft under solicitation SPRTA124R0078. This procurement, categorized under NAICS code 336413, is being conducted as a justification for other than full and open competition pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). Lockheed Martin Corporation has been identified as the only qualified source capable of providing the receivers, specifically NSN 5865-01-600-9835NR, due to a lack of available technical data. This determination follows market research conducted between September and October 2023 to ensure the necessity of the sole-source approach for these critical aircraft components.
