About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) awarded a sole-source contract valued at $54,265,790 to Leonardo UK LTD on December 15, 2025, for the procurement and production of the AN/ALQ-260(V) Active Expendable Decoy (AED), an anti-missile countermeasure system. The contract includes manufacturing of the decoy systems, initial spare impulse cartridges, and support equipment, structured as a base year plus one option period with authority to act expiring September 30, 2026. NAVAIR determined that Leonardo UK LTD was the sole responsible source capable of meeting requirements due to 14 years of research and development history with the UK Ministry of Defense, and concluded that transitioning to an alternative vendor would result in an unacceptable eight-year delay, as a new supplier would require approximately four years for product maturation, three years for device qualification, and one year for manufacturing readiness.
