AI Contract Overview

Show more

The Naval Air Systems Command is conducting market research to identify qualified industry partners capable of producing the Deployable Flight Incident Recorder System Mid-Life Upgrade (DFIRS MUP) B-Kit Weapon Replaceable Assemblies, Data Bus Interface Unit, and Deployable Flight Incident Recorder Unit for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft, including Foreign Military Sales variants. This effort addresses obsolescence of the emergency locator transmitter frequency and requires systems capable of deployment via cartridge-actuated device during an accident, survival of terminal velocity impact, and indefinite flotation in open ocean conditions—distinct from standard commercial crash-recorders. The contract is anticipated to be awarded as Firm Fixed Price with performance beginning in May 2027. DRS Technologies Canada Ltd. is the original equipment manufacturer and holds proprietary technical data necessary for production; any selected contractor must obtain this data directly from them to meet specifications. Interested parties must submit a voluntary capabilities statement not exceeding ten pages in 12-point font with 1.5 line spacing, including company details, experience with obsolete aerospace electronics, access to required technical documentation, quality assurance certifications, and other relevant qualifications—all marked “For Official Use Only, Releasable to Government Agencies for Evaluation Purposes Only.” Submissions are limited to Microsoft Word or PDF format and must be emailed to Cassaundra Somerville by 5:00 PM EST on July 24, 2026. No funding is provided for preparation of responses, and the government is under no obligation to award a contract based on submissions. All responses are subject to safeguarding under FAR 15.207(b), and foreign entities or U.S. teams involving foreign partners must comply with ITAR. Only unclassified information is acceptable, and non-compliant submissions will not be reviewed.

This clause must also be flowed down to all subcontractors, except those performing exclusively outside the United States, and contractors are required to report any subcontractor violations or related litigation to the Contracting Officer. Compliance with CUI handling protocols is required throughout the supply chain. The primary place of performance is Patuxent River, Maryland, with all work expected to occur within the United States.

The Naval Air Systems Command is issuing a Firm Fixed Price modification to contract N0001926C0140 with Bell Textron Inc. to support the Structural and Power Improvements for Next-Gen Effects (SPINE) Phase III effort. This modification covers security requirements and Delta Production Readiness Reviews for electrical sub-system configuration components for both AH-1Z and UH-1Y aircraft, as well as structural items specifically for the UH-1Y. The procurement is being conducted without full and open competition under 10 U.S.C.3204(a)(1) because the government lacks the necessary license rights to Bell Process Specifications and Standards to utilize another vendor. NAVAIR has determined that Bell is the only responsible source capable of meeting these requirements, as qualifying a new source would cause an unacceptable delay of approximately eight years.

The Naval Air Systems Command at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, plans to issue a sole-source contract modification to BAE Systems in Nashua, New Hampshire, under Basic Order Agreement N00019-22-G-0009 and delivery order N00019-24-F-0125 to secure technical support for integrating the AN/ALE-55 Electronic Frequency Converter, Fiber-Optic Towed Decoy, and Dual Band Decoy with the Advanced Electronic Warfare system. This procurement is justified under Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as BAE Systems is the only responsible source capable of meeting the government’s requirements, with no alternative suppliers available. The action is not open for competitive bidding, and the intent notice serves only to inform potential parties of the planned action and allow for the submission of interest or capability statements, which will be reviewed at the government’s sole discretion to determine if a competitive process should be pursued.
