AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to award a sole source contract to Telephonics Corporation for the development and production of the AN/UPX-43(V)1 Identification Friend Foe Interrogator (IFFI) shipset and tray. This contract will include comprehensive support activities such as technical support, configuration management, obsolescence mitigation through DMSMS, reliability and maintainability efforts, failure reporting and corrective actions, engineering change proposals, integrated logistics support, technical data, and repair of repairable components. The procurement targets an initial base year requiring approximately five shipsets, with two subsequent option years that could each procure up to 20 shipsets annually. Manufacturing and delivery are expected to occur between fiscal years 2022 and 2030. This acquisition is justified under statutory authority allowing for non-competitive procurement due to Telephonics being the sole original equipment manufacturer and possessing the exclusive design knowledge, experience, and technical data to meet government requirements timely. The work will be conducted at Telephonics’ facility in Farmingdale, New York, supporting the P-8A Poseidon platform. The solicitation was posted in June 2026, with responses due by late June 2026. While companies cannot compete for this prime contract, interested parties may explore subcontracting opportunities directly with Telephonics. The contract falls under NAICS code 334511 and is managed by NAVAIR at the Patuxent River office.
