AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to negotiate and award a sole source Delivery Order under a Basic Ordering Agreement with General Atomics, located in San Diego, CA, to establish full depot repair and overhaul capabilities for the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) on Ford Class carriers. This contract encompasses depot-level logistics support, including provision and maintenance of test benches, test fixtures, support equipment, software, tools, engineering, program management, and logistics to support the stand-up of depot operations for EMALS associated with Ford Class carriers. The efforts will include updates to test configuration logistics products as needed for the depot capability, along with Support Equipment Requirement Data and related support tools. This acquisition is being conducted on a sole source basis due to General Atomics being the only responsible source that holds the unique expertise, intellectual property, facilities, manufacturing capabilities, and technical data necessary for these efforts. Pursuing other sources would cause delays in meeting agency requirements, and NAVAIR lacks sufficient technical data to support competitive procurement. The procurement will follow statutory authority allowing sole source acquisitions when only one responsible supplier exists. Companies interested in subcontracting with General Atomics are encouraged to contact the Small Business Liaison directly. The contract is not a request for proposals, and the Government makes no commitment to solicit or award; all details are subject to change. The solicitation was posted in May 2026 with a response deadline in early June 2026.

Full Description
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award a sole source Delivery Order (DO) under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with General Atomics (GA), San Diego, CA, for a procurement to establish full depot repair and overhaul capability for Ford Class carriers for the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS). The efforts will entail depot level logistics support, products, and test benches, to include all required test fixtures, test stands, Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE), Common Support Equipment (CSE), software, and tools, as part of the test configuration logistics product updates as it directly correlates to Depot Stand Up for the EMALS Ford Class. This effort also includes Support Equipment Requirement Data (SERDs), Support Equipment Tools, engineering, program management, and logistics support.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1, “only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” As the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the EMALS and AAG system, GA is the only responsible source with the unique knowledge, experience, special skills, facilities, manufacturing techniques, and technical data required to fulfill this requirement. Award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements. Further, NAVAIR does not have an adequate technical data package suitable for a competitive procurement of the anticipated efforts required.
Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should directly contact Zach Baur, Small Business Liaison for General Atomics via e-mail: SB4GA@ga.com or Phone: (858) 455-2603.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any money expended by interested parties before award of a contract for the effort described above. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract
