- Description
- Combined Synopsis/Solicitation & Notice of Intent General Information Details Notice ID FA9302-26-Q-0092 Notice Type Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Contracting Office Air Force Test Center / PZZG NAICS Code 334511 � Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing PSC Code 5821 � Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Airborne Response Date 24 July 2026, 2:00 PM PST Description of Requirement This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 12.2, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Department of War (DoW) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Quasonix, Inc. for the procurement of Quasonix airborne transmitters and fans. Notice of Intent to Sole Source Subject Description Statutory Authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by RFO 6.103-1 Justification The DFTI telemetry subsystem is strictly configuration-controlled under engineering drawing 2GWE04061-0001. The Quasonix QSX-VQR6-1110-10-64-24AL-AC-C7-CF-DP-HR-LD6-STC transmitter and QSX-AC-34-HS-28V-SP heat sink are the only commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components that satisfy the mandatory form, fit, and function requirements of this drawing. Use of any other transmitter is technically unfeasible as it would require a complete mechanical redesign of the mounting chassis, rewiring of the aircraft-level wiring harnesses, and a complete re-evaluation of the system's flight safety and airworthiness certifications Scope of Work Provide 15 each of Quasonix QSX-VQR6-1110-10-64-24AL-AC-C7-CF-DP-HR-LD6-STC airborne transmitters and 15 each of Associated QSX-AC-34-HS-28V-SP fans. Market Research The transmitter specifications is dictated by engineering drawing 2GWE04061-0001. The system design agency is made by Lockheed Martin and the System Program Office and it was determined that only the specified Quasonix transmitter and matching fan-cooled heat sink satisfy the extremely tight physical tolerances, electrical pinouts, thermal dissipation requirements, and dual-channel Space-Time Coding (STC) protocols necessary for safe flight operations. Because the Government inherited this fully qualified, configuration-controlled design, conducting redundant market research on alternative transmitters is technically and contractually impractical. Accepting any hardware other than the designer-specified baseline would violate the configuration control of drawing 2GWE04061-0001, invalidate the system's airworthiness certification, and require a costly, duplicative engineering redesign of the aircraft instrumentation suite. Instructions to Interested Parties This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Applicable Provisions & Clauses The following FAR/RFO provisions and clauses apply to this acquisition: Provision/Clause Title FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Products and Commercial Services FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Products and Commercial Services FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Products and Commercial Services
