AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a sole source delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001924G0001 to DRS Systems, Inc. to procure specialized support equipment essential for increasing production testing capacity of the AN/AAQ-45 Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasure system. The equipment includes Far Field Test Stations, Laser 2 hardware for those stations, DAIRCM-specific test hardware, and associated data deliverables. The procurement is justified under Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 because DRS is the exclusive designer, developer, and manufacturer of the required systems, and the government does not possess a technical data package for the AN/AAQ-45 that would enable competitive sourcing. This action is not a solicitation but a market research notice aimed at identifying potential subcontractors and confirming the sole source basis, with no obligation for the government to compensate responses. Subcontracting opportunities are to be pursued directly with DRS through Jeffrey Cutre. The notice was posted on June 11, 2026, with responses due by June 25, 2026, and the work will be performed in Melbourne, Florida.

THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
