About this opportunity
This notice provides details for the Naval Air Systems Command's intent to award a sole source contract modification to Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions Inc. The modification is for up to twenty-six Low Band Consolidation Transmitters as an engineering change to upgrade existing Low Band Transmitters utilized on the AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System. The LBC Transmitter will replace the LBT in the ALQ-99 pod. The contract is set for award in Q1 FY24 with deliveries beginning in Q3 FY25.
There is no set-aside designated for this opportunity. The primary NAICS code is 334511 for search, detection, navigation, and other electronic systems. Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions is the identified sole source awardee as the original developer and manufacturer of the Low Band Transmitter for this follow-on modification contract, valued at an estimated twenty-six units to be procured with supporting engineering and spare components. No other parties will be considered for this non-competitive sole source award due to Cobham's expertise in maintaining the existing system.

Update #2 · Latest ·
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) sole source contract to Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (CAES) Inc., 305 Richardson Road, Lansdale, PA 19446, up to twenty-six (26) Low Band Consolidation (LBC) Transmitters as a modification to current Low Band Transmitter (LBT) which will utilize the existing AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (TJS) Band 4 antenna. This procurement will implement an engineering change proposal (ECP) developed under previous contract and includes supplies and services required for the production and delivery of modified LBTs to LBC transmitters, Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) supporting production, associated spare components, and associated data. The total estimated quantity to be procured is up to thirty (30) modified LBC Transmitters. The LBC Transmitter will be a direct form and fit replacement of the LBT in the existing ALQ-99 pod. It is anticipated this LBC Transmitter procurement will be awarded in July 2023 Quarter 1 and will include a base and two options with deliveries estimated to begin in Quarter 3 FY25.
The applicable NAICS Code is 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing.
The LBT and Band 4 transmitter are part of the AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (TJS), are flown on the EA-18G aircraft, and provide vital Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) jamming capability against radar and communications targets in the suppression of enemy air defenses. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (3), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR 6.302-1, ‘Only One Responsible Source’, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. As the sole system designer, developer, integrator, and manufacturer of the LBT, CAES is the only known source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical expertise to modify the LBC Transmitter and successfully integrate into the existing LBT and AN/ALQ-99 TJS. This contract being synopsized will be a follow on contract to sole source FY16 LBC contract # N00019-16-C-0007.
This anticipated LBC contract award will occur July 2023 with deliveries to commence Quarter 3 FY25.
