Martin Baker CAD/PAD supplies

The Naval Air Systems Command, through the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division at Patuxent River, Maryland, plans to award a sole source, firm fixed price task order under the existing Basic Ordering Agreement N0042124G0001 to Martin-Baker Limited for the procurement of F-35 Cartridge Actuated Device and Propellant Actuated Device ejection seat parts required for fiscal year 2027. This procurement is justified under FAR Part 6.302-1 as only Martin-Baker Limited possesses the unique engineering capability, proprietary technical data, and specialized expertise necessary to manufacture these critical components, as the U.S. government does not hold the technical data package or drawings required for production. The contract is non-competitive and will directly support mission-critical F-35 ejection seat systems without alternative sources available. The solicitation, identified as N00421-26-RFPREQ-WPM202-0289, was posted on June 22, 2026, with responses due by July 11, 2026. All submissions must be sent via email to the contracting officer, and no telephone inquiries will be accepted. Subcontracting opportunities are to be directed to Shantora Bennett, while the primary point of contact for responses is Sabana Moore-Barnes. The place of performance is St. James, Maryland, and the NAICS code is 325920, with no set-aside provisions applied. The order will ensure uninterrupted supply of vital safety equipment for the F-35 fleet, maintaining operational readiness through reliance on the original equipment manufacturer.
