About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a sole source, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to DRS Systems Inc. LLC for the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase of the AN/AAQ-45 Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasure (DAIRCM) program. The IDIQ contract will include hardware production, related systems engineering, program management, aircraft integration, and special test equipment. This requirement will be procured under the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition, as DRS Systems, Inc. is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the DAIRCM equipment, and the government does not own the necessary technical data package for competition.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. DRS Systems, Inc. is the incumbent contractor for the existing DAIRCM Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract. The upcoming IDIQ contract does not specify an award value or budget range, but will support the LRIP phase of the DAIRCM program. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact DRS Systems, Inc. directly. The pre-solicitation notice has a due date of November 5, 2024 for interested parties.
