The government intends to award a single, firm-fixed-price contract for 24 units of a PANEL, CONTROL, ELECT (NSN 5895-01-721-1771) for the IBAS Weapon System, limited to sole sources Thomas Global and Palomar. Production lead time is 135 days after contract award, with or without First Article Testing, and deliveries are to Tobyhanna, PA. The solicitation closing date is estimated and may be adjusted, but will not close prior to the stated date. Foreign firms must route requests through their embassies, and export-controlled technical data restricts participation to U.S. entities with active JCP certification. The government lacks data rights for competition but encourages firms to seek source approval for future opportunities.

The Defense Logistics Agency is seeking qualified sources to manufacture a PANEL, CONTROL, ELECT (NSN 5895-01-721-1771) for the IBAS weapon system, with performance in Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This is a market research notice, not a solicitation, and no funds are available for response preparation. The government lacks data or rights to data needed to source from additional suppliers, so current procurement is limited to responsible sources. Interested businesses, including small and disadvantaged firms, must meet prequalification requirements and obtain source approval to compete for future contracts. Contractors must handle all manufacturing, supply chain, and engineering services, and comply with export control restrictions requiring active JCP certification.
