RFQ for 50 ea, Qorvo TGM2635-CP 100-Watt X-Band Amplifiers (or Equal)

The 56th Contracting Squadron is soliciting fifty 100-Watt X-Band amplifiers, specifically the Qorvo TGM2635-CP model or an equal alternative, under a total small business set-aside designated under FAR 19.5 and NAICS code 334413. The procurement is issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation under number FA488726Q0022 and is restricted to small businesses only, with no subcontracting plan requirements specified unless the award exceeds applicable thresholds. Technical requirements for any “or equal” submissions are defined in the attached Salient Characteristics document, which specifies the amplifier must deliver over 100 watts of output power within the 7.9 to 11 GHz frequency range, maintain power-added efficiency greater than 35%, operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and be housed in a 0.75" L x 0.75" W x 0.18" D copperplate SMD package. No alternate standards such as MIL-STDs are cited, and no packaging, preservation, or labeling specifications beyond the physical dimensions and environmental tolerances are provided. All questions must be submitted via email to diego.lozada_gonzalez@us.af.mil and thomas.jobe@us.af.mil no later than May 22, 2026, at 12:00 PM MST, and quotes are due by May 29, 2026, at 12:00 PM MST using the same email addresses; late submissions will not be considered. The place of performance is Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, with delivery expected at that location. The solicitation does not include pricing details, line-item numbers, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or invoice processing instructions, as these are contained in the unprovided SF 1449 form. Evaluation criteria, inspection procedures, acceptance location, and payment details are referenced as being included in the attachments but are not disclosed here. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and self-certify small business status, though no additional socioeconomic certifications, security clearance requirements, or special contract clauses are mentioned. The award is likely based on lowest price technically acceptable, though the formal basis of award is not stated.
