The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Air Force Test Center (AFTC), AFTC/PZZF, Edwards AFB, CA, hereby issues this Combined Synopsis/Solicitation and Notice of Intent to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order. This transaction is conducted pursuant to RFO 6.103-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements," as implemented by RFO FC 12.201-1, "Simplified procedures." The Government intends to award a sole-source contract exclusively to ACG Systems, Inc. (CAGE: 1FRK9; COTS Vendor/Small Business), located at 133 Defense Highway, Annapolis, MD 21401-7023. 2. REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION: The Contracting Officer has determined that only the following original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part numbers can satisfy the agency’s critical technical requirements: - Line Item 01: [P/N: 01-P58564R002] URC-300 VHF/UHF Transceiver Assembly, COTS, O&M Manual (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 02: [P/N: US00240100-001] Universal Mounting Bracket System for URC-300 (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 03: [P/N: 30-P58549R001] DC Power Cable (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 04: [P/N: 85-P39217N001-C3] VHF/UHF Spring Loaded Mobile Antenna (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 05: [P/N: US00300049-001] Antenna Mounting Bracket, Roof Mount with Integrated Cable (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 06: [P/N: 50-P53272R001-C3] Speaker Microphone (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 07: [P/N: 01-P57870R001] Remote Control Unit (RCU) enabling CM-350 V2 dual transceiver control (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 08: [P/N: 60837-001] Palm Microphone for CM-300/350 (V2) Transmitter (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 09: [P/N: SH-40] Receiver/Transmitter Compatibility Connector (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 10: [P/N: 30-P58653R050] URC-300 to RCU Audio Interface Cable, 50 ft (Qty: 1 EA) - Line Item 11: [P/N: 15-P58596R002] URC-300 Battery Connector Cover (Qty: 1 EA) 3. DETERMINATION AND JUSTIFICATION: ACG Systems, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and maintains a strict direct-sales model with zero authorized third-party distributors or resellers for Air Force acquisitions. The required hardware represents an expansion of the existing URC-300 baseline telemetry suite integrated under previous contract FA9302-22-F-G596. This equipment is technically required to natively interface with the B-52 CERP Mobile Telemetry Van's proprietary CM-350 V2 control protocols and must satisfy mandatory military TEMPEST/EMI shielding requirements. Procurement of alternative commercial hardware is legally and economically restricted. Sourcing non-ACG hardware would render the existing subsystem entirely inoperable, resulting in a direct, severe duplication of hardware and integration labor costs. Furthermore, introducing an uncertified brand would trigger a mandatory, comprehensive TEMPEST recertification of the Mobile Telemetry Van and introduce a critical 6-to-9-month laboratory testing delay. This delay would halt telemetry flight-test support, directly threatening overall B-52 engine replacement timelines and Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) operational readiness targets. In accordance with RFO policies, this requirement cannot be satisfied through any mandatory source, including AbilityOne or UNICOR. 4. RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS AND POINT OF CONTACT: This notice of intent does not constitute a competitive Request for Quotes (RFQ) or Request for Proposals (RFP). However, in accordance with RFO FC 12.202, any responsible source that believes it can satisfy the aforementioned requirements may submit a formal capability statement. To be considered, any prospective challenger must submit written, legally binding documentation demonstrating: A) Direct, unmodified technical compatibility with the proprietary CM-350 V2 Remote Control Unit protocols. B) Current military TEMPEST and EMI certification data for integration into 419FLTS classified shelters. C) Explicit, written authorization from the OEM (ACG Systems, Inc.) verifying reseller or distributor status. All capability statements must be submitted via email to Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer Josiah Broadway at josiah.broadway@us.af.mil no later than September 3, 2026, at 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST). A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action 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 in the future. | Combined Synopsis | 09/03/2028 |
NASA/MSFC has a requirement for the development and delivery of hardware and firmware for the Lunar Node - 2 payload to support a rapid path to integration and flight payload development. Key considerations of this action are focused on the ability to deliver a flight-ready payload within 90 days, which requires maintaining physical, electrical, and software interfaces to the existing design. NASA/MSFC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the following items and services from Amergint Technologies Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CACI, Inc.-Federal under the authority of FAR 6.103-1, 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Amergint is uniquely qualified to complete this work as the designer, developer, implementer, and owner of the SWIFT-SLX platform. Selection of Amergint utilizes their existing hardware and proprietary technology (including its structure, electronics, interfaces, and antenna) for this mission to meet the project's accelerated deadline while also upgrading capability without requiring interface changes that would impact schedule. The procurement includes multiple potential tasks/items as necessary to prepare the payload for a future flight opportunity: (1) A study to provide insight and detailed schedule for development time for addition of two-way coherent ranging into the flight platform. Analyze and assess feasibility for potential paths for upgrades and improvements to the existing SWIFT SLX-X EDU that the Lunar Node - 1 project has on-hand to support potential lunar operations as part of Lunar Node - 2. Utilize existing hardware from the Lunar Node - 1 payload, including its structure, electronics, interfaces, and antenna. To meet the desired deadline while also adding upgraded capability of high value to the program, the payload cannot accommodate any interface changes. This includes onboard firmware, software, electrical, and mechanical interfaces. (2) Re-work on the existing SWIFT-SLX previously delivered to MSFC. This includes disassembly, conformal coating and staking of internal electronics, reassembly and functional checkouts. (3) A current build of the SWIFT-SLX for an Engineering Development Unit (EDU) and flight platform. (4) A new EDU to match current capabilities and flight design. (5) Upgraded firmware to enable additional capability on the LN-1 SWIFT-SLX radio to enable two-way coherent ranging on the platform using S-band frequencies. The Government intends to acquire a commercial product or service using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Cynthia Hubbard at cynthia.a.hubbard@nasa.gov and Brent Evans at brent.l.evans@nasa.gov not later than 12:00 P.M. C.D.T. on November 25, 2026. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A decision by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
