Description
The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the procurement of the AN/APX-119 Transponder, a component of the C-130J Avionics Identification Friend of Foe (IFF) system. The requirement is for manufacturing services, with a projected quantity of 217 units over a two-year period. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary materials, support equipment, tools, and services to manufacture the transponder. The government is seeking companies with expertise, capabilities, and experience in manufacturing similar components, as well as those with experience in test, evaluation, and repair processes.
Some key points to consider include:
• The AN/APX-119 Transponder is a critical component of the C-130J aircraft's Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out capabilities.
• The selected contractor will be required to provide documentation supporting their company's capability to meet the requirements of the procurement.
• The government is encouraging both large and small businesses to participate in the market research, and joint ventures or teaming arrangements are also encouraged.
• The projected contract period is two years, with a potential for extension or renewal.
