About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), operating under the Air Combat Electronics Program (PMA 209) at Patuxent River, Maryland, is seeking to procure Conformal Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (C-CRPA) through a firm-fixed-price modification to an existing contract. This acquisition falls under the radio navigation equipment and airborne communications category, with the procurement classified under NAICS code 334220 for radio and television broadcasting equipment manufacturing. The primary requirement is the procurement of an additional option year (OY5) for C-CRPA systems, with the government emphasizing the critical need for continued technical expertise and proprietary knowledge in this specialized antenna technology. The government intends to pursue this procurement on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S.C. Section 3204(a)(1) and FAR Part 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source possesses the necessary engineering expertise and proprietary data to fulfill requirements without causing unacceptable delays. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 4, 2025, with a due date of December 19, 2025, providing interested parties with a 15-day window to review opportunity details and submit inquiries.
This procurement carries no set-aside designations and is being directed toward the incumbent contractor, BAE Systems Information and Electronics, located at 450 Pulaski Road, Greenlawn, New York 11740-1606, as the sole-source recipient. BAE Systems Information and Electronics holds exclusive technical and proprietary data associated with the C-CRPA system, making it the only company capable of satisfying the government's requirements for this option year continuation. The notice does not disclose a specific award value or budget range, though as a modification to an existing firm-fixed-price contract, the cost structure will be negotiated between the government and BAE Systems Information and Electronics. This modification represents a continuation of services under the existing contract framework rather than a new procurement vehicle. No competitive evaluation criteria are applicable given the sole-source justification, with award expected to proceed directly with the incumbent contractor upon successful negotiation of terms and conditions for the option year.
