Advanced notice of on-ramp

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), an agency within the Department of the Navy, has issued an Advanced Notice of On-Ramp Special Notice on March 27, 2026. This notice announces the agency's intention to expand its supplier base for an existing Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) focused on tactical data link modernization. The on-ramp initiative is a qualification-based process designed to add additional vendors to the current pool of contractors. Any company meeting the established standards will be eligible for inclusion in the vendor pool. The notice is intended to increase competition among suppliers for future orders under the BPA. The submission deadline for interested vendors is April 27, 2026.

The primary objective of this on-ramp is to broaden the number of qualified vendors supporting the tactical data link modernization program, which requires ongoing production, spares, and engineering services. To participate, vendors must meet specific prerequisites, including possessing a current and properly scoped DD 2345 on file with the Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS), or alternatively, providing a valid Joint Certification Program (JCP) number. Additionally, interested contractors must submit a need-to-know certification, their facility clearance level, and a mailing address to the designated Contracting Officer's Representative at PMW-150-Contracts@us.navy.mil. Vendors without an active DD 2345 on file should visit the DLIS website at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/ for instructions on completing and submitting the required documentation. Access to the full Advanced Notice is contingent upon meeting these documentation and security clearance requirements.
