The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is seeking responses from interested parties for a sole source contract to support experimentation and development of Millimeter Wave (mmW) 5G Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) technology. The effort involves providing resources for prototyping, testing, and risk reduction activities related to advanced antenna and radio units that will be integrated into Distributed Battle Management Command & Control (BMC2) systems supporting ground, surface, and airborne missions. The contract, to be awarded under a Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF) order on a sole source basis, will be issued to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, leveraging their unique expertise in multi-foundry integration, supply chain security, and complex system of systems frameworks. The work will be performed primarily at Patuxent River, Maryland, and aims to facilitate lab demonstrations and eventual field testing to mature the technology for military applications. This initiative builds on previous RF and optical electronic activities under a related contract, continuing efforts to transition innovative 5G ORAN capabilities into operational systems. The government emphasizes Northrop Grumman’s proven ability to manage complex technological requirements and maintain program integrity within security and industrial strategies. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements by January 3, 2025, to demonstrate their ability to support this specialized effort. The government’s decision to restrict competition is based on the contractor’s unique qualifications and experience, underscoring the specialized nature of this procurement.
