The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), under the Department of Defense, is conducting market research via solicitation HQCA2026A083 to identify qualified manufacturing sources for the Full Rate Production of several antenna systems. This effort supports the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Mission Systems AIWA program and specifically targets the production of the Very/Ultra High Frequency Transmit Array, High Frequency Direction Finding antenna, New Graywing Antenna Development acquisition antenna, and the Next Generation AS-4683 Antenna. The government intends to provide a complete Level 3 Product level Technical Data Package for a build-to-print production effort, meaning the focus of the request is on manufacturing capabilities, quality control, and production capacity rather than engineering design. Interested parties are encouraged to provide recommendations for partial or full solutions across any of the four antenna systems based on their specific expertise. This sources-sought notice is for information and planning purposes and is not a formal solicitation. Responses are due by October 6, 2026, and are managed by the office located in San Diego, California, under NAICS code 334511.
