Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA, under the Department of Defense, is issuing a Solicitation for a RECEIVER-TRANSMITTE (Product Service Code: 5841 Radar Equipment, Airborne). This is identified as a Critical Application Item (CAI). Proposals are due April 3, 2026.
Scope of Work
This solicitation is for the procurement of newly manufactured spares only; refurbished, remanufactured, or repaired material will not be accepted. Offers from sources that are not government-approved sources of supply will be deemed technically unacceptable, unless for P-8/P-3 Platform Commercial Items with current FAA certification documentation. Distributors of approved sources must submit an authorized distributor letter. The requirement is being issued under EAF authority, with synopsis waived due to urgency.
Notably, this procurement is for non-CLSSA FMS spares requirements, meaning the parts are wholly owned by FMS customer countries, not covered by a Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement, and will never be delivered to the DoD or entered into the DoD supply chain. Therefore, the DFARS clause 252.211-7003 "Item Unique Identification and Valuation" is deleted, as these assets will not be tracked by DoD.
