The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), NAS Patuxent River, MD, intends to negotiate and award a contract with fixed price and cost type line items to BAE Systems. The contract will procure an estimated quantity of approximately 120 Dual Band Decoys (DBD) per year as well as associated support equipment repairs in support of the F/A-18E/F platforms. This contract is planned to contain a base year with up to two option years and is intended to satisfy requirements for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 through FY2029.


This requirement will be procured in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” BAE Systems is the only contractor who possesses the manufacturing technology, infrastructure, capacity, and platform qualifications to complete all requirements detailed in the related Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on 17 April 2026. No other source has the technical qualifications and necessary resources to perform the work described herein, nor will any other supplies or services satisfy the Government’s requirements.


THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining future competitive opportunities. All inquiries and concerns must be addressed to the Contract Specialist, Elizabeth V. Lamb at elizabeth.v.lamb2.civ@us.navy.mil. Responses to this notice must be submitted by 20 May 2026.

FortiNet FortiGate Software License Renewals
Solicitation # N00019-26-RFPREQ-APM290-0806
The Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River, Maryland, requires renewal of Fortinet FortiGate software licenses to maintain critical communications security for the P-8A Poseidon aircraft. These renewals are essential to ensure ongoing support, updated threat protections, and operational integrity of existing firewall systems onboard the aircraft. Due to the proprietary nature of FortiGate technology—including the software, antivirus definitions, intrusion prevention files, and associated technical support—the U.S. Government lacks the necessary technical data package to replicate or independently support these systems. As a result, only Fortinet's authorized federal resellers are capable of providing the exact, mission-certified licenses and services required, making them the sole responsible sources under prevailing federal procurement authorities. This action is being conducted on a limited competition basis under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, recognizing the exclusivity of authorized Fortinet resellers. While this announcement serves as a notice of intent rather than a formal solicitation, the Government will evaluate any responses received within 15 days of publication to determine if full and open competition is feasible. All submissions must reference the solicitation number N00019-26-RFPREQ-APM290-0806 and be emailed to Contract Specialist Frank Schibler by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on June 11, 2026. Responses may influence the Government’s decision to proceed with a non-competitive award, and no formal bidding process is currently planned unless information submitted demonstrates otherwise.
