About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) awarded contract N00421-26-C-1025 to Tiger Century Aircraft, Inc. for the development, qualification, manufacture, and delivery of a Departure Alerting System with built-in Outside Air Temperature display for F-5 aircraft, in the amount of $2.73 million, on September 23, 2026.
The award was made sole source under FAR 6.103-1, which the synopsis supports with a finding that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy requirements. The accompanying Justification and Approval cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and identifies Tiger Century as holding exclusive rights to, and access to, F-5 flight dynamics technical data, including original F-5E flight test data, Improved Handling Qualities package data, and Air Force Departure Warning System data. The J&A states that alternative sources would need a minimum of twenty-four additional months to re-engineer that data and conduct validation flight testing.
The contract is firm-fixed-price, with CLINs for production kits, production spares, simulators, and technical data, and a two-year period of performance. The J&A describes kits for up to forty-one Adversary F-5F/N aircraft plus three spares. The NAICS code is 334511. No set-aside was used. Four sources-sought notices preceded the award, posted June 14, 2023; July 13, 2023; March 4, 2024; and February 19, 2025.
