AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a sole source delivery order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement to DRS Systems, Inc. for the procurement of support equipment aimed at enhancing sensor testing capabilities for DAIRCM production. The equipment involved includes Far Field Test Stations (FFTS), Laser 2 hardware for FFTS, DAIRCM testing hardware, and associated data deliverables.

This notice is not a solicitation or request for proposal but a market research effort to identify capable businesses, although the government has no obligation to pay for any information submitted. The procurement will proceed under statutory authority permitting non-competitive acquisition since no other sources can meet the requirements. Interested companies seeking subcontracting opportunities are encouraged to contact DRS directly. The contract is anticipated to be executed for work performed primarily in Melbourne, Florida, with primary government contacts located at Patuxent River, Maryland.
