About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD awarded a sole source contract modification valued at $3,267,625 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) on May 14, 2025, for Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) services related to the Department of Navy's Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) system. The contract modification adds scope to order N0001924F1082 under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001920G0005 for a software update to the AN/AAQ-24 system that will transfer Integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (iASE) Advanced Threat Warfare (ATW) sensor calibration data to support the MAGTF Agile Network Gateway Link (MANGL) family of systems. The award was made on a sole source basis under statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition, as NGSC is the sole developer, producer, and depot repair facility for the AN/AAQ-24 system, with proprietary technical data and manufacturing processes that cannot be competed by other contractors.
