SkyLink 7100 Aviation Kit.

NASA/NSSC is procuring five SkyLink 7100 Aviation Kits from NAL RESEARCH CORP on a sole-source basis under FAR 12.102(a), as the vendor is the exclusive provider of this commercial off-the-shelf aviation system, which integrates directly with Global Hawk ground control stations and cannot be substituted due to extensive aircraft-specific modifications. The kits include a Dual Mode Data Gateway, Sensor Systems Antenna, LTE Antenna, a 5’ LMR240 Cable with TNCM to SMA connectors, and a SkyLink Power Adapter, all conforming to part number SL7100-SENSOR-Nomenclature, and must be delivered by June 1, 2026, to NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. The acquisition follows FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures, with no competitive solicitation planned, though interested parties may submit written capabilities information by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on April 27, 2026, solely to inform the government’s determination of non-competition. The procurement is administered by the NASA Shared Services Center, with Tracy Bremer as the primary point of contact, and the NASA FAR Supplement clause 1852.215-84 on the Ombudsman applies to address contractor concerns. Performance is restricted to the Edwards delivery site, with inspection and acceptance handled by the government under FAR Part 12 guidelines and a Q-1B quality documentation requirement. No pricing, contract value, CLIN structure, packaging specifications, invoicing method, or detailed evaluation factors are provided, and no COR, COTR, or socioeconomic data for the contractor is included. The NAICS code is 334511, and while delivery is expected before mid-2026, no FOB terms, payment office details, or accounting codes are specified in the documentation.
