RF Power Divider/Combiner Design and Manufacturing

The contract seeks the full lifecycle design, engineering, and production of the RFPDC unit, a Radio Frequency Power 18:1 Divider/Combiner with part number B5148656-1, requiring reverse engineering to precisely replicate the performance and physical specifications of the existing FFF component. The unit must operate reliably within the S-Band frequency range of 2 to 4 GHz and be fully compatible with a 27-meter radar system, ensuring seamless integration and operational continuity. All development phases—from initial design and simulation to prototype validation and final manufacturing—must adhere to stringent technical requirements to meet the exacting standards of the military radar environment. Production is to be performed at the designated place of performance in Warner Robins, and the work is classified as a subcontract under the NAICS code 334418, indicating it falls under the broader category of other electronic component manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on June 24, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses on August 22, 2026, at 8:00 PM. The contracting activity is managed by the Department of Defense through the FA8507 Alcmc Eskc office, reflecting the critical nature of the component for defense radar operations. While no specific set-aside type is indicated, the project demands specialized technical expertise in high-frequency RF systems and precision manufacturing capabilities to ensure mission readiness.
