AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), through Program Office PMA-201, intends to modify IDIQ contract N0001924D0104 to increase its ceiling by $97 million for the procurement of FMU-139D/B fuze systems and associated accessories, including inert assemblies, training devices, bomb initiators, power cables, closure rings, and technical data, to support U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and limited Foreign Military Sales requirements through the final ordering period ending June 17, 2028. This action is necessary due to unanticipated global demand that has strained existing production capacity under the original contract, which was awarded on September 1, 2024, and is set to expire on August 31, 2027. The modification will be awarded solely to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation – Defense Systems (NGSC-DS) under FAR 6.103-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as it is the only entity with the qualified production tooling, facilities, technical data, and historical certification to fulfill the requirement without causing an unacceptable schedule delay. The original contract established a three-year ordering period, and this ceiling increase is designed to bridge into the final phase of performance, with funding allocated as $26 million for the Navy, $69 million for the Air Force, and $2 million for Foreign Military Sales, all under Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations. The modification is anticipated to be awarded no later than December 31, 2026, and production will occur at NGSC-DS’s facility in Keyser, West Virginia. While this notice is issued as a presolicitation for informational purposes and not as a competitive request, interested parties may submit capabilities information prior to the July 21, 2026, deadline, though no obligation is created by the government to award or compensate submissions. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price, and acceptance will be conducted by NAVAIR at its facility in Patuxent River, Maryland, with inspection criteria based on existing military standards and prior technical data packages, pending full transition of the Technical Data Package by 2030. No competitive procurement is planned, and no alternative sourcing will be considered due to the unique and irreplaceable nature of the FMU-139D/B qualification held by NG

Full Description
This presolicitation notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Procedures, Guidance and Information (PGI) 206.302-1. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Program Office, PMA-201, Patuxent River, Maryland, intends to award a sole source modification of Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract N0001924D0104 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation - Defense Systems (NGSC-DS), Rocket Center West Virginia, to increase the existing ceiling for additional domestic FMU-139D/B Fuze and accessory kits, along with the associated technical data.
This notice is published for informational purposes only. (THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS). This requirement is anticipated to be procured sole source to NGSC-DS under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(l), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This modification is anticipated to be awarded no later than 2nd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2027.
NGSC-DS is the only company that has the requisite knowledge, production tooling, facilities and technical data necessary to meet this requirement within the necessary schedule as NGSC-DS is the only vendor with a qualified FMU-139D/B Fuze. In accordance with FAR 6.103-1(c)(2)(ii), award to any other source would result in unacceptable schedule delay in fulfilling the agency's requirement.
This contract was awarded 01 September 2024, under authority 10 USC 2304(c)(l), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This contract consists of three one-year ordering periods and will expire on 31 August 2027. This modification will increase the ceiling of contract N0001924D0104, in the amount of $97M, in order to cover the final ordering period of performance which expires 17 June 2028. The potential items being procured in the final ordering period are the FMU-139D/B Fuze; FMU-139D(D-1)/B Fuze Assembly, Inert; FMU 139D(D-2)/B Inert Load Crew Training Fuze System; FMU 139D(D-5}/B Inert Cut Away Fuze; FZU-48A/B Bomb Initiator; Power Cable; Closure Ring; and associated Technical Data. This action would allow the United States Navy (USN) and United States Air Force (USAF) to meet their domestic requirements, as well as a small portion of their Foreign Military Sale obligations, within the final ordering period. This action is necessary because unforeseen world events caused an increase in demand for FMU-139D/B fuzes and accessories within the Foreign Military Sale arena for ordering periods 1 and 2 associated with the original IDIQ Contract. If the contract ceiling is not increased to accommodate the anticipated requirements of this contract, the United States Government will not be able to obtain their domestic requirements for the FMU-139D/B, which would also result in a significant production gap. The justification and approval for this ceiling increase has been attached to this notice.
