About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, issued a sole-source justification notice for BQM-177A Subsonic Aerial Target (SSAT) system components and support services. The contract, awarded to Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems, Inc. (KUAS) on April 23, 2026, covers Pre-Expended Bin (PEB) replenishment components and post-flight consumable hardware required to maintain the BQM-177A target system for flight testing conducted by the Threat Target Systems Department at NAWCWD in support of the PMA-208 aerial targets program. The sole-source justification was authorized under 10 U.S.C. Section 3204(c)(1), with KUAS identified as the exclusive designer, developer, and manufacturer of the BQM-177A SSAT with proprietary rights to technical data, mission kits, special tooling, software, and support equipment. The estimated contract value is $13.2 million covering fiscal years 2024 through 2028. NAWCWD's determination was supported by two unsuccessful Sources Sought Synopses issued in August 2023 and March 2024 that yielded no competitive responses, and the Program Management Office identified no alternative sources capable of satisfying the technical requirements.
