The selected contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary facilities, labor, materials, parts, tooling, testing, and inspection to return the unit to a 'Ready For Issue' (RFI) condition. This means the unit must perform properly and reliably in an operational environment. This opportunity is for companies specializing in the repair and overhaul of communication interface units.

The solicitation was published on September 04, 2026. All proposals must be submitted by October 05, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. This deadline is firm, and proposals received after this time will likely not be considered.
The government's acceptance of a contractor's proposal will constitute a bilateral agreement to issue the contract, delivery order, purchase order, or modification.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for businesses with expertise in the repair, overhaul, and upgrade of electronic communication interface units, particularly those familiar with military specifications and standards. The contractor must have the capability to provide all required resources, including specialized tooling and test equipment.
The requirement was not set aside for small businesses, meaning firms of all sizes can compete. Relevant categories include electronic equipment repair and maintenance, and specialized manufacturing for defense applications.

Tips for a competitive response
Focus your proposal on clearly demonstrating your firm's capability to meet the 'Ready For Issue' (RFI) condition requirement. Detail your processes for inspection, component repair and replacement, reassembly, and testing. Highlight your experience with relevant military standards such as MIL-STD-130 for markings and the use of SAE-AS22759 series wire.
Ensure your firm-fixed-price proposal is comprehensive, covering all facility, labor, materials, parts, and tooling costs. Emphasize your ability to provide all necessary equipment, as the government will not be providing any manufacturing aids. Clearly state how your team will comply with quality requirements and any referenced industry standards like IPC/EIAJ-STD-001C.
