About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, New Jersey is procuring three Advanced Boresight Equipment (ABE) Model 310A Measurement Systems to support the H-1 Czech and Nigeria Foreign Military Sales programs. This pre-solicitation notice is issued under Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 206.302-1(d) to satisfy transparency requirements for a sole source procurement. The Government intends to award a fixed-price contract based solely on the justification that Textron Systems Corporation is the only responsible source capable of meeting agency requirements, as it is the sole developer, designer, and manufacturer of the ABE 310A with exclusive possession of requisite technical data and expertise. No competitive evaluation criteria will be applied, as this procurement is explicitly exempt from competition under FAR 6.302-1. Interested parties must submit any relevant information by the closing date of April 26, 2026, directed to Tammy Fossa at tamara.d.fossa.civ@us.navy.mil; however, this notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals and submission of responses does not obligate the Government to award a contract or reimburse any costs incurred.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. Textron Systems Corporation (CAGE: 97384) is identified as the anticipated sole contractor for this action. The contract will cover three units of the ABE 310A (Part Number 40262-44000-40, National Stock Number 4920-01-540-4173) at an unspecified award value or budget range. The specific contract value is not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, and no timeline for contract performance or delivery milestones is provided. As a sources sought notice, this announcement serves primarily to document the Government's justification for sole source procurement and to provide interested parties an opportunity to present alternative sources or challenge the sole source determination before final contract award.
