AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to award a contract, on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1, to The Boeing Company for the procurement of approximately 180 retrofit kits for the Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI) Seal Dam and Clam Shell for the P-8A Poseidon aircraft. This contract is scheduled for award in the third quarter of the Government Fiscal Year 2027, with all deliveries to be completed by the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2033. The P-8A aircraft, based on a modified Boeing 737-800 airframe, incorporates numerous specialized systems to meet Navy requirements, and Boeing holds proprietary and limited rights to the underlying technical data and special expertise needed to fulfill the Government’s needs, making it uniquely qualified as the sole source for this effort. Interested parties are invited to submit Capability Statements that demonstrate their qualifications, technical ability, and access to necessary technical data relevant to developing, testing, and manufacturing retrofit kits for aircraft similar to the P-8A. These submissions must be concise, focused, and provide detailed information about the company’s experience, personnel, technical approach, and business profile, including small business status if applicable. Responses should be submitted electronically by the specified deadline, and must include explicit permissions for the Government to share technical information internally and with authorized contractors. The Government has no obligation to award a contract or reimburse costs related to submissions, and responses that do not comply with the requirements or that attempt to compete without the necessary proprietary data access may not be considered.

Full Description
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue a contract action to the Boeing Company (Boeing), 7755 E Marginal Way S., Seattle, WA 98108-4002, on an other than full and open basis for the procurement of Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI) Seal Dam & Clam Shell retrofit kits for P-8A Poseidon aircraft.
Contract action award is planned to occur in 3rd Quarter FY27. The planned period of performance is 60 months. The effort shall be procured pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements." The Boeing P-8A consists of a basic Boeing commercial 737-800 ERX air vehicle modified to meet Navy requirements, and numerous systems and subsystems for avionics, communications, mission, and weapon capabilities. Boeing is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the P-8A airframe, as well as the sole integrator of the P-8A’s systems and subsystems for avionics, communications, mission, and weapon capabilities, and therefore is the only responsible source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data to develop and implement P-8A retrofit kits. As the P-8A Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Boeing is the only source that has the knowledge and access to the technical data necessary to develop each kit. Without concluding, that an alternate source could fulfill the requirements, the timeline to compete and qualify that alternate source is expected to significantly delay ongoing P-8A system design and development efforts. Therefore, pursuing alternate sources to fulfill the contemplated requirements would result in an unacceptable delay in fulfilling those requirements for U.S. Navy Fleet and international country end users.
The 6 May 2026 Sources Sought Notice provided the opportunity for interested persons by 21 May 2026 to submit a Capability Statement identifying their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals.
