The Department of the Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command intends to modify an existing firm fixed price delivery order under a basic ordering agreement to retrofit Government-Furnished Block I Digital Red Switch System production assets to Block II configuration for sustaining the E-6B aircraft, involving a range of critical components including Ethernet switches, chassis management modules, power distribution units, processors, cooling systems, and specialized avionics such as the REDSYSMAN1 system and CANISTER for RED VOIP ICS/MAPS. This action is being conducted as a sole source modification to Collins Aerospace due to the highly specialized nature of the technology and the necessity of maintaining continuity with the original equipment manufacturer to avoid unacceptable delays, as authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and implemented through FAR Subpart 6.302-1, with no competitive requirements mandated under WTO GPA or FTA, and no small business set aside. The modification, anticipated to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, does not require contractor qualification for award and technical data is exclusively available through the contractor. While the notice is not a competitive solicitation, responsible parties may submit proposals within 15 days of publication to be considered at the government’s discretion. Responses must be directed to designated Navy points of contact, and subcontracting opportunities are to be pursued directly with Collins Aerospace. The effort is being managed from Pax River, Maryland, with performance occurring in Richardson, Texas, under the NAICS code 336413.
