The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a competitive Firm-Fixed Price Task Order, N0001921F0315, to Textron Systems Corp on May 17, 2021, under Basic Order Agreement N00019-21-G-0008. This contract provides Unmanned Aircraft Systems Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance data collection support services for the U.S. Department of Defense and other government agencies. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541370 and is managed through the office located in Patuxent River, Maryland. To prevent unacceptable delays, the Naval Air Systems Command utilized a Class Limited Source Justification and Approval to restrict competition for these land and sea-based services to Textron Systems Corporation and Insitu, Inc. This limitation was based on the fact that these two entities were the only sources possessing the necessary Interim Flight Clearance and Authority To Operate. This specific authority covers a five-year ordering period and is set to expire on March 20, 2026.
