VDATS DA and AB-2 Kits

This contract is a firm-fixed-price, requirements-type acquisition authorized under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 USC 2304(c)(1), intended exclusively for procuring VDATS DA and AB-2 kits and related equipment from Astronics. The contract emphasizes that only Astronics can supply these VDATS kits due to proprietary data restrictions, designating the contractor as the sole responsible source to satisfy the agency's needs. The solicitation number is FA8579265281, issued by the Department of Defense's FA8579 Software Support AFSC PZIM office, located at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, with a place of performance in Warner Robins, GA. The solicitation was posted on January 12, 2026, with a response deadline of January 27, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 334515, covering electronic instrument manufacturing. While the equipment list included in the documentation pertains to various building elevators and lifts and is likely separate from the VDATS contract, it reflects detailed maintenance and management data relevant to the broader operational environment, possibly indicating the type of infrastructure supported by such military contracts. The primary contacts for this acquisition are Patrick Madan and Teresa Duval, providing direct liaison for interested parties or further inquiries. No set-aside provisions apply to this contract, underscoring the exclusivity of procurement from Astronics for the specialized VDATS kits and associated equipment.
