C26-109E Linear Power RF Amplifier

The United States Air Force is conducting a Sources‑Sought market research (Solicitation C26‑109E) to identify firms that can qualify, produce, and support a single C26‑109E Linear Power RF Amplifier. The amplifier must accept a 100 mW RF input and deliver approximately 150‑160 W continuous output for at least one hour, covering a frequency band from 250 MHz up to a minimum of 450 MHz with a minimum gain of 52 dB (adjustable across the band). Required features include N‑type female input/output connectors, 50 Ω I/O impedance, maximum input VSWR ≤ 2.0:1, CW/AM/FM capability, optional front‑panel power adjustment and a display of output power and VSWR, a complete calibration data package, and a full enclosure that can be bench‑top or rack‑mountable. Power must be supplied from a standard 120 V / 60 Hz single‑phase wall outlet. Delivery speed is the highest priority, and the government seeks production and repair data, quality‑assurance certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100), and the ability to expedite shipping. Respondents must provide detailed capability information—including staff composition, relevant past performance with contract numbers, quality‑assurance processes, shipping capabilities, and any factors that would preclude compliance—as well as business data (CAGE code, NAICS 335999, size‑status, ownership, etc.). Commerciality questions address catalog pricing, workforce segregation between government and commercial work, warranty/return processes, and any existing catalog or market prices. All written responses (no facsimiles or e‑mail) are due by close of business 04/22/2026 and should be sent to Mark Todd (mark.todd.7@us.af.mil) and Paul Mullins (paul.mullins.2@us.af.mil).
