5985 - Northrop Grumman Corp Linthicum Heights 5-Year BOA Renewal

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to renew a 5-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with Northrop Grumman Corporation at their Linthicum Heights facility for antennas, waveguides, and related equipment classified under NAICS code 335931 for Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing. This procurement involves flight-critical items that require Government source approval prior to contract award due to the technical nature of the components and the inadequacy of available technical data to support full and open competition. Only previously approved sources have been solicited for this opportunity, and any unapproved sources must submit detailed qualification information through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support source approval brochures for spares or repair services. The Government has determined that commercial item acquisition policies under FAR Part 12 will not be utilized based on market research, though interested parties may identify their commercial item capabilities within 15 days of the notice posting. The response deadline for this pre-solicitation is October 30, 2025, with the opportunity posted on October 15, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and appears to be a renewal of an existing contract relationship with Northrop Grumman Corporation as the incumbent contractor. The 5-year duration indicates a substantial long-term commitment, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The opportunity is structured as a Basic Ordering Agreement, which typically allows the Government to place individual orders for goods or services over the contract period as needs arise. The flight-critical nature of the components suggests high-value, specialized equipment that requires stringent quality and reliability standards. The restricted competition due to Government source approval requirements indicates this is likely a continuation of existing support for critical defense systems where supply chain continuity and proven performance are paramount considerations.
