AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Air Force Test Center (AFTC/PZZF) at Edwards Air Force Base is pursuing a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) to procure a comprehensive tactical radio system and associated accessories from L3 Harris Technologies, Inc. The acquisition centers on the AN/PRC-167 Multi-band Radio System and a full suite of supporting components including RF amplifiers, power supplies, specialized cabling, vehicle mount assemblies, transit cases, and speakers—all required for secure, high-data-rate communications in classified environments. The NAICS code 334220 applies with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and the government has determined L3 Harris as the only responsible source due to its exclusive ownership of proprietary ASICs, FPGAs, and firmware critical to interoperability, NSA certification, and compliance with ICD 705, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461. This determination precludes competitive bidding, and no solicitation documents exist beyond this pre-solicitation notice. Vendors seeking to challenge or provide alternative solutions must submit a detailed technical package by 3:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on May 28, 2026, via email to the designated contracting officer, including evidence of capability, commercial terms, warranty provisions, and delivery arrangements. The contract will be administered at Edwards AFB, with inspection and acceptance performed by the government, and no payment, invoicing, or accounting details are provided. The Department of the Air Force’s ombudsman is available for concerns regarding this acquisition process, and while no contract clauses, evaluation factors, or formal packaging standards are specified, the system must meet stringent operational and environmental requirements to support C4ISR missions across joint and coalition forces.
