Purchase Order N0038326PAA01

The Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a $183,430 firm fixed-price purchase order to BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc. for transponder set repair and processing services. The contract, awarded on October 22, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of October 18, 2027, requires the contractor to perform complex repair and maintenance of radio navigation transponder equipment for airborne applications. BAE Systems, a subsidiary of the global defense contractor BAE Systems PLC and headquartered in Greenlawn, New York, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its extensive experience manufacturing and repairing advanced electronic systems for military aviation platforms including the P-8 Poseidon, E-2C/E-2D Hawkeye, and F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft. The contract was awarded on a full and open basis without set-aside designations, reflecting the specialized technical expertise required for this defense electronics work.

This purchase order likely supports BAE Systems' existing multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Air Systems Command, which was awarded in May 2025 and explicitly authorizes procurement of Identification Friend or Foe transponders and other electronic components through May 2030. The repair services will be performed at BAE Systems' facility in Greenlawn, New York, and must comply with stringent federal requirements including Commercial Asset Visibility system reporting within five business days of asset receipt and a mandatory 110-day repair turnaround time. BAE Systems' established track record of managing complex naval aviation supply chains and its existing relationships with multiple Naval Air Systems Command programs position it as a critical supplier supporting the Navy's operational readiness across electronic systems infrastructure.
