P-8A Aircraft Full Rate Production FRP IX (Lot 13)

The Naval Air Systems Command has definitized a previously issued undefinitized contract action through a Fixed Price Incentive Fee award to procure four additional FMS Lot 13 P-8A aircraft, consolidating the acquisition under Full Rate Production Phase IX. This action was conducted on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source—the current manufacturer—can meet the unique and specific requirements of the P-8A platform, with no other supplies or services deemed adequate. The justification for non-competition is formally documented under Class Justification and Approval number 21-0136 dated 02 March 2021 and is supported by existing international agreements with participating Foreign Military Sales customers. The award covers the production and delivery of aircraft under the contract title P-8A Aircraft Full Rate Production FRP IX (Lot 13), with the solicitation number N00019-23-RFPREQ-APM290-0006 and a posted date of June 15, 2026. Performance will primarily occur in Tukwila, Washington, while the contracting office is located at Patuxent River, Maryland, under the Department of Defense. Primary point of contact for the acquisition is Andrew H Warner, with Brittney Davis as secondary contact.
