About this opportunity
Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award sole-source modifications to existing task orders under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001921G0008 to Textron Systems Corporation for Aerosonde UAS operational support and mine countermeasures sensor integration, with a response period closing September 30, 2026. This procurement is not a competitive solicitation; the notice is published for informational purposes only, and the Government retains sole discretion to compete or proceed without competitive proposals.
Work encompasses operational site transitions and mobilization support for shipboard and land-based UAS assets, and non-recurring engineering and integration of mine countermeasure sensor payloads. Performance period extends up to twelve months from modification award. NAVAIR justifies sole-source award under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 on the basis that Textron Systems Corporation is the sole OEM, designer, and developer of the Aerosonde UAS, maintaining exclusive proprietary control over technical data packages, integration drawings, and flight control software. No other source possesses the specialized technical data or capability to perform these services without causing unacceptable delays in fleet operational readiness and voiding critical airworthiness certifications.
Work is performed with Textron Systems Corporation located in Hunt Valley, Maryland. No competitive proposals are being solicited, and no commitments exist regarding contract awards or Government responsibility for costs incurred by interested parties before award.
