About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a sole source contract for the design and development of an integrated AN/URN-33 Printed Wiring Board (PWB) module that converts ship heading input formatted in the USN proprietary OD-19 message format to NMEA 0183 RS-422 format, along with all necessary hardware and software. The procurement also requires updates to OE-4691 drawings to incorporate the antenna radome lanyard and supporting hardware from the OE-273 design. NAVAIR has determined that Thales USA, Inc., located in Overland Park, Kansas, is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling these requirements due to its exclusive expertise as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of TACAN systems.
