The Naval Air Systems Command plans to modify an existing sole-source delivery order with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation to fund continued development of a three-dimensional model for the BQM-34S subsonic aerial target system. This modification, anticipated for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, will extend the delivery timeline by four months and supports the ongoing production and technical documentation needs of the BQM-34S, a recoverable, remotely piloted platform capable of speeds up to Mach 0.86 and altitudes between 10 and 60,000 feet, used to simulate anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles for weapon system testing. The procurement is justified under statutory authority for other than full and open competition because Northrop Grumman is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer with exclusive access to the required technical data, software rights, and maintenance expertise specific to the BQM-34S system.

While responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration in determining future competition, the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition. Subcontracting opportunities must be pursued directly with Northrop Grumman, and no financial commitment or contractual obligation is implied by this notice. All information is subject to change, and the government will not cover pre-award expenses incurred by interested parties.
