About this opportunity
AI summaryThe Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Nuclear Systems Integration Division requires a one-time purchase of PCM330E Programmable Pulse Code Modulation Encoders in the B61-12 Tail Kit Assembly Telemetry Instrumentation Kit configuration. The item is subject to COMSEC controls and must occupy the existing volume and interface without modification using the exact qualified L3Harris Technologies part number LCP-755-005396-023. The agency intends to award a sole-source contract to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. because qualifying any alternative encoder requires impractical non-reoccurring engineering and testing. However, all responsible sources may submit an unclassified capability statement demonstrating they can supply the identical qualified item. Interested offerors must email a PDF or Microsoft Word capability statement of no more than three pages to the contracting officer before the notice closes.
