The Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River, Maryland, plans to award a Firm Fixed Price contract solely to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation in Melbourne, Florida, for a Site Survey, Mx Academics training for one squadron, Logistics Consumables, and Peculiar Support Equipment. The decision to proceed without competitive bidding is based on the determination that Northrop Grumman is the only source with the unique knowledge, experience, and technical data necessary to fulfill these requirements without causing unacceptable delays to Navy operational readiness. This sole source justification is authorized under Title 10, U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, which permits other than full and open competition when only one responsible source exists. This action is issued as a presolicitation notice under solicitation number N00019-26-RFPREQ-TPM265-0624, posted on May 14, 2026, with responses due by May 29, 2026. While interested parties may submit capability information prior to the deadline, the Government explicitly states there is no obligation to solicit or award a contract, nor will it assume responsibility for any costs incurred by respondents. The solicitation is non-competitive and intended solely for informational purposes, with any final decision to proceed without competition resting entirely within the Government’s discretion. The North American Industry Classification System code is 336413, and no set-aside provisions apply. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Shannon Buckalew, with Jessica Myers also available for assistance.

Full Description

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Melbourne, FL, on a sole source basis. This contract will provide for the performance of a Site Survey, Mx Academics training to one squadron, Logistics Consumables as well as Peculiar Support Equipment.


Northrop Grumman is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data required to successfully complete the Site Survey and Training without causing unacceptable delays in meeting the Navy’s operational requirements.


The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, "Only One Responsible Source," and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.


This synopsis is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this synopsis. The Government will consider all capability information received prior to the closing date. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.


There is no commitment by the Government to issue any solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any monies expended by any interested party before award of a contract for the efforts detailed above. Information provided herein in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract.


If you have any questions regarding this synopsis, please contact Shannon Buckalew at shannon.r.buckalew.civ@us.navy.mil or Jessica Myers at jessica.v.myers.civ@us.navy.mil.

FortiNet FortiGate Software License Renewals
Solicitation # N00019-26-RFPREQ-APM290-0806
The Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River, Maryland, requires renewal of Fortinet FortiGate software licenses to maintain critical communications security for the P-8A Poseidon aircraft. These renewals are essential to ensure ongoing support, updated threat protections, and operational integrity of existing firewall systems onboard the aircraft. Due to the proprietary nature of FortiGate technology—including the software, antivirus definitions, intrusion prevention files, and associated technical support—the U.S. Government lacks the necessary technical data package to replicate or independently support these systems. As a result, only Fortinet's authorized federal resellers are capable of providing the exact, mission-certified licenses and services required, making them the sole responsible sources under prevailing federal procurement authorities. This action is being conducted on a limited competition basis under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, recognizing the exclusivity of authorized Fortinet resellers. While this announcement serves as a notice of intent rather than a formal solicitation, the Government will evaluate any responses received within 15 days of publication to determine if full and open competition is feasible. All submissions must reference the solicitation number N00019-26-RFPREQ-APM290-0806 and be emailed to Contract Specialist Frank Schibler by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on June 11, 2026. Responses may influence the Government’s decision to proceed with a non-competitive award, and no formal bidding process is currently planned unless information submitted demonstrates otherwise.
