The U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane is seeking sole-source procurement of sustainment services for the Government Furnished Property Near Field Range (NFR) to support the production and repair of Unmanned Aircraft Communications system components. The work involves interfacing with Unmanned Aircraft and Mission Control Segment equipment to configure, monitor, and process Platform Command and Control data, specifically Air Vehicle Command and Control functions. The contract is being awarded exclusively to L3 Technologies, Inc. Communications Systems-West due to its unique and irreplaceable knowledge and experience in maintaining the NFR system; no other vendor can replicate the necessary data or procedures without reliance on L3Harris. The requirement is justified under statutory authority for situations involving only one responsible source, with low demand for the service and no viable alternative suppliers. The solicitation is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) with the sole-source justification based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), and while other sources may submit a statement of interest, the Government retains full discretion to maintain the sole-source approach regardless of responses received. The solicitation and related documents are not publicly posted on SAM.gov and are available only through the designated point of contact. All contractors must be currently registered in the System for Award Management. The solicitation number is N0016424GJW78, with a response deadline of June 22, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to Elizabeth Hacker or Amber Branstetter at the provided contact details.

Full Description

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for sustainment of Government Furnished Property (GFP) Near Field Range (NFR) in support of production and repair of UA COMMS system components. The NBA interfaces with the Unmanned Aircraft or the Mission Control Segment (MCS) equipment for configuration and status and processing Platform C2 data (Air Vehicle Command and Control (AVC2)).


The proposed contract action is for the procurement of supplies which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, L3 Technologies, Inc. Communications Systems-West  640 N 2200 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84116-2925, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) RFO 6.103-1(b) (statutory authority 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1)), only one responsible source. The requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis because L3 Technologies is the only company with knowledge and experience of maintaining the NFR for use in testing UA COMMS components. Demand for service is low for this unit. Services are required based on prior defined deliverables for all the products included in the installation effort. Another supplier or vendor could not produce the data or procedures without going to L3Harris. All responsible sources may submit a statement of interest which shall be considered by the agency.


However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of re-evaluating the justification for sole source or limitation of sources and making a determination to change the acquisition strategy to a competitive procurement. The solicitations and amendments for this sole source action will not be posted to sam.gov and are available only from the POC identified below.


Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov.


Questions or inquiries should be directed to Elizabeth Hacker, Code 0233, telephone 812-381-5170, e-mail elizabeth.m.hacker3.civ@us.navy.mil.  Please reference the above solicitation number when responding to this notice.
