Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force is conducting a Sources Sought / Market Survey to identify potential sources for the C26-109E Linear Power RF Amplifier. This market research aims to find companies with the expertise, capabilities, and experience for qualification and production of this amplifier for USAF personnel. Responses are due by April 22, 2026.
Scope of Work
The government seeks one (1) RF Linear High-Power Amplifier that can receive a 100 milliwatt RF signal and amplify it to approximately 150 Watts. This 150 Watt signal will be used to test the insertion-loss/signal-integrity of aircraft Transmit Diplexer Circuitry, verifying its ability to handle high power RF signals. The equipment must allow testing as if it were operating in the aircraft, be rack-mountable, and operate on standard 120v wall power. Delivery speed is the highest priority for this requirement.
