Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to the requirement prior to the March 20, 2025 closing date. All inquiries must be submitted via email to Mackenzie Buscher by 4:30 PM eastern time on the closing date, with any response needing to demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this procurement. Rockwell Collins, Inc. of Cedar Rapids, IA, is the sole identified contractor for this opportunity, with the contract being non-competitive due to the company's exclusive technical capabilities. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed, the procurement involves software development for a military communication system.

The Product Service Code (PSC) 5821 for Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Airborne, further clarifies the technical scope of the potential contract. Companies interested in potential subcontracting opportunities are directed to contact Rockwell Collins directly.
