How to bid on PATRIOT IFF AN/TPX-57 (V)1 CCA repair for the Army ILSC
What the Army ILSC is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen, on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center (ILSC), is seeking sources capable of providing repair and testing and inspection (T&I) services for specific Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs) used in the PATRIOT Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system. These CCAs include the Interrogator Reply Processor (IRP), Dual Channel Receiver (DCR), and Input Power Conditioner (IPC).
The goal is to return these components to a DoD AIMS-certified configuration. This is a Request for Information (RFI), meaning the government is gathering information to determine if a future procurement can be competed or set aside for small businesses. There is no technical data package available from the government.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting your response to this RFI is August 20, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. All responses must be emailed to the points of contact by this time.
This is not a request for quote or proposal, and no contract will be awarded based on this announcement. The government will use the information received for planning and market research purposes to inform future acquisition strategies.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with proven capabilities in the repair and testing of complex electronic components, specifically circuit card assemblies for military systems. Experience with IFF systems and adherence to DoD AIMS certification standards would be highly relevant.
The applicable NAICS codes are 811213 (Communication Equipment Repair and Maintenance), 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), or 334418 (Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing).
How to respond
To respond, you need to submit capability information via email to the points of contact listed in the announcement. Your submission should include, but is not limited to, a questionnaire, past test and repair results, information on previous government and commercial contracts, and data rights.
Ensure your response includes your company name, CAGE code, and a technical point of contact with an email address and telephone number. No phone inquiries will be accepted.
Tips for a competitive response
Clearly demonstrate your firm's expertise with similar repair and T&I services, especially for military electronics. Since the government does not possess a technical data package, emphasize your independent capability to perform the required work to DoD AIMS-certified configurations.
Provide concrete examples of past performance, including contract numbers and client references if possible. Highlight any proprietary data rights or unique processes that enable you to service these specific components effectively without government-provided technical data. Ensure all requested information, such as CAGE code and contact details, is accurate and complete.
