The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, Maryland, is seeking to contract Northrop Grumman Corporation’s Navigation Systems Division for the repair, modification, or overhaul of assemblies in the AN/ASN-145 Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) navigational system. This sole source procurement aims to return these assemblies to a Ready For Issue (RFI) condition, ensuring operational readiness. The contract will be awarded through a Request for Quotation (N00421-03-T-0106) and processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures as outlined in Part 13 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), leveraging a DPAS DX-1 rated government purchase order with applicable clauses under Federal Acquisition Circular 2003-01 and DFARS DCN 20030214. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1, as only Northrop Grumman is considered the responsible source capable of fulfilling agency requirements, emphasizing the unique nature of the services and parts involved. Interested parties were invited to respond electronically by March 19, 2003, providing company details and business size, though this remains a sole source requirement. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334511 and Federal Supply Class code J016, reflecting its focus on electronic component repairs related to defense navigation systems. The location of performance is linked to the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division at Patuxent River, Maryland.
