Flight Management System Navigational Database Software Subscription

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division awarded contract N0042126C1007 to Jeppesen ForeFlight for annual navigation database software subscriptions compatible with the E-2D Flight Management System. This sole source award was executed under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as Jeppesen ForeFlight is the only responsible source capable of providing the required proprietary database. The procurement ensures mission-critical support for worldwide en-route, terminal, and approach operations using Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation via GPS, adhering to Data Integrity Assurance Level Two for essential data elements. The contract covers a five-year period from fiscal year 2026 through 2030, with subscription quantities increasing from 74 in FY26 to 79 annually by FY28 through FY30. Performance is based in St. James, Maryland, with administrative oversight provided by the contracting office in Patuxent River, Maryland. Funding is sourced from Navy Operations and Maintenance funds. This follow-on procurement was justified to avoid significant operational disruptions and safety risks, as market research confirmed no other available sources could satisfy the agency's technical requirements.
