Lot 5 and 6 Aircraft Inspection Discrepancy Reporting (AIDR)

The contract for Lot 5 and 6 Aircraft Inspection Discrepancy Reporting (AIDR) was awarded on a sole-source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) and (iii)(B), as competition was determined to be impractical due to prohibitive costs and unacceptable schedule delays. The justification highlights that competing the requirement would necessitate a new vendor to replicate extensive prior investments in development and testing, resulting in significant duplication of effort that would burden the Government without providing measurable benefit. To preserve mission-critical timelines and avoid unnecessary expenditures, the Naval Air Systems Command limited the award to the incumbent source, ensuring continuity and efficiency in supporting vital aircraft inspection reporting functions. The action, posted on June 17, 2026, with solicitation number N00019-25-RFPREQ-APM261-0764, falls under NAICS code 336411 and carries no set-aside designation. Performance will be conducted in Stratford, Connecticut, while the contracting office is located at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland. The primary point of contact is Kevin Harding, reachable via email for further inquiries. A redacted Justification and Approval document, aligned with FAR 6.305, provides additional context and has been submitted for public record in accordance with federal acquisition regulations.
