The RAPID MAC Monthly Forecast, posted by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) under the Department of Defense, provides planning and informational data regarding anticipated task orders. A primary requirement highlighted in the October 2025 forecast is support for the Naval Avionics Platform Integration Emulator (NAPIE) through the Webster Outlying Field (WOLF) Airborne Systems Integration Division. This effort focuses on evaluating emerging technologies, vendor products, software, and new configurations with existing military and civilian platforms to reduce risks, costs, and timelines associated with certification cycles and flight approvals. The notional value for the NAPIE support is estimated between 50 million and 100 million dollars, with a performance period consisting of a base period plus four options. The anticipated forecast release date was October 22, 2025, with an expected award date of February 12, 2026. This notice is categorized under NAICS code 541330 and is intended for planning purposes only, meaning it does not legally bind the government to solicit or award a contract. Primary contact for this effort is Christopher Kyle Pennini.
