The Naval Air Systems Command plans to exercise options under Task Order N0001925F0087, issued under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001924G0017, to secure continued software sustainment support, cybersecurity services, and travel expenses for 2026 on the E-6B aircraft’s mission avionics systems from Collins Aerospace Government Systems Division. This modification is being awarded sole source due to Collins Aerospace’s status as the original equipment manufacturer and systems integrator, possessing exclusive access to the specialized technical data, testing equipment, and facilities required to maintain and modify these highly specialized avionics systems. The action relies on the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which permits non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source can meet the government’s unique requirements, a determination valid under pre-2026 acquisition rules. The solicitation, identified as N00019-26-NORFP-APM271-0033, was posted on May 11, 2026, with responses due by May 27, 2026, and is classified as a presolicitation notice, not a competitive request. The government will consider capability statements submitted within the 15-day window but retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of submissions. All communications must be directed to Bezeyem Lemou and Lisa Troccoli via email, while potential subcontractors should reach out to Amber Hanlon at Collins Aerospace. Performance is expected to occur in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with the contracting office located at Patuxent River, Maryland.

Full Description

Show more

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Airborne Strategic Command, Control and Communications Program Office (PMA-271), intends to award a modification on Task Order (TO) N0001925F0087 issued under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0001924G0017 to Rockwell Collins Inc., doing business as Collins Aerospace Government Systems Division (CAGE CODE: 13499) for the exercise of options for software sustainment support, cybersecurity, and travel in 2026 for various mission avionics systems on the E-6B aircraft.


BOA N0001924G0017 was awarded sole source to Collins Aerospace under the authority of 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1 prior to the Department of War implementation of the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 6 (effective 01 February 2026). Therefore, the subject DO will be processed pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1, whereby the supplies and services required are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Collins Aerospace is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and integrator of several mission avionics systems for the E-6B platform, and as such is the only source that possesses the requisite knowledge, experience, specialized testing equipment, laboratory and test facilities, and technical data necessary to support and modify these systems.


THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government may consider capability statements received within fifteen (15) days from the publication date of this synopsis. 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. Responses shall be made in writing via email to the attention of Bezeyem Lemou (bezeyem.lemou.mil@us.navy.mil) and Lisa Troccoli (lisa.j.troccoli.civ@us.navy.mil). Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Collins Aerospace, Amber Hanlon, at amber.hanlon@collins.com.

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.
