About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) at Patuxent River, Maryland intends to procure AN/ARC-210(V) radios and associated ancillary support equipment through a sole source Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The procurement encompasses radios, spares, components, support equipment, engineering and technical support, integrated logistics support, commercial warranty, data, test and integration support, training, and pre-planned product improvements and conversions. The justification for sole source procurement is grounded in 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR Part 6.103-1, asserting that Collins Aerospace is the only responsible source with the necessary technical data, knowledge, experience, and expertise to fulfill these requirements. Interested parties may submit evidence of their capability and interest by email to Ryan Chandlee at ryan.m.chandlee.civ@us.navy.mil no later than April 1, 2026 at 1600 EST, though the Government reserves discretionary authority to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on responses received. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 17, 2026, with a response deadline of April 1, 2026.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is being pursued as a sole source award to Collins Aerospace, located at 400 Collins Road, NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52498-0505. The contract will span from fiscal year 2028 through fiscal year 2032, providing a five-year performance window for the delivery of goods and services. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the comprehensive scope of supplies and support across a multi-year period suggests a substantial contract commitment. The Government has explicitly stated that it does not intend to fund the development or qualification of alternative resources and will evaluate all responses solely to determine the appropriateness of pursuing a competitive procurement. This notice represents an opportunity for potential competitors to formally register their capability and interest prior to final contract award determination.
