AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a sole-source Firm Fixed Price order to Honeywell International, Inc., under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001921G0020, to procure obsolete commercial Inertial Measurement Units for the Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range program. This procurement was justified under Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 due to Honeywell being the sole responsible source with exclusive design rights, tooling, and technical data required to maintain production continuity. No other supplier can replicate the IMUs without a 45-month requalification period and over $1 million in non-recurring engineering costs. The order supports Low-Rate Initial Production 4 and future spares needs for U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and Foreign Military Sales to Italy. The contract is being executed from Honeywell’s facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with funding processed through NAVAIR in Patuxent River, Maryland. No competitive evaluation factors were applied, as the acquisition was conducted under statutory authority for sole-source procurement, and no standard contract clauses, inspection criteria, packaging specifications, or invoicing methods were detailed in available documentation. Payment details, points of contact for contracting oversight, and technical representatives remain unprovided. The justification references a redacted J&A document approved January 5, 2026, and the order was issued on April 29, 2026, under solicitation number N00019-26-RFPREQ-WPM242-0114, with contract number N0001926F0151. The procurement is critical to sustaining AARGM-ER production timelines, avoiding delays that would impact fielding schedules for multiple services and international partners.
