Risk Reduction Program for the Flight Management System Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation Software Integration Effort

The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a sole-source Indefinite Delivery Order 0053 under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-11-G-0018 to Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This contract focuses on the Flight Management System requirement, specifically targeting interface definition and risk reduction activities. The primary objective is to ensure U.S. Navy aircraft comply with Communication, Navigation, Surveillance, and Air Traffic Management requirements, with a specific emphasis on Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation software integration. The acquisition was conducted as a sole-source procurement under the authority of Title 10, U.S.C. Section 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as Rockwell Collins is the original equipment manufacturer. The scope of work includes the procurement of hardware, test kits, and engineering services for the Control Display Unit-based Common Cockpit System and Flight Management Systems. While initial estimates were higher, a revised funding profile adjusted the total estimated value of the effort to 49,712,000 dollars.
