About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command is seeking to procure an updated Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) for the P-8A Poseidon aircraft to incorporate 2015 magnetic variation (MAGVAR) tables. This modernization is essential to maintain the aircraft's certification for operating in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and utilizing Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Area Navigation (RNAV) routes in civil airspace. The ADIRU must maintain full compliance with existing FAA Technical Standard Orders (TSO) C4c, C5e, C6d, and C106, while meeting DO-178B Design Assurance Level A requirements specific to the P-8 platform. Prospective contractors must submit Capability Statements by February 2, 2026—two calendar days after the posting date of January 29, 2026—addressing their small/large business status, company profile, DUNS and CAGE codes, and technical approach for meeting schedule and performance requirements. The Government will use these Capability Statements to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, and the decision not to compete remains solely within the Government's discretion.

This pre-solicitation notice does not utilize any small business set-aside designations, making this opportunity available to both large and small businesses. The notice does not identify any current contractors or incumbents, nor does it specify an award value or budget range for the procurement. No information regarding the quantity of ADIRUs required, the timeline for delivery, or other numerical contract details has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase. The procurement falls under NAICS category 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC category 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components), reflecting the specialized nature of the avionics equipment being sought.

Notice text

The P-8A Poseidon began as a commercial Boeing 737-800 airframe, which was then significantly re-engineered with new systems (avionics, communications, weapons) to satisfy the Navy's military performance standards. To retain the necessary certifications for flying in civil airspace, the P-8A's Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) must be updated with the 2015 magnetic variation (MAGVAR) tables. This is required to maintain the aircraft's certified ability to operate in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and use Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Area Navigation (RNAV) routes. The updated ADIRU must maintain its

existing compliance with FAA Technical Standard Orders (TSO) C4c, C5e, C6d, and C106, and the P-8 ADIRU must satisfy the requirements for DO-178B Design Assurance Level A.
