About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command has awarded a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to Rockwell Collins Simulation and Training Solutions LLC, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for technical refreshes and capability upgrades to existing E-2D Hawkeye training systems under contract N6134026C1001 on June 30, 2026.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), asserting that full and open competition is not feasible. Rockwell Collins is identified as the only source possessing the necessary training media and design data required to meet Navy Training Systems Plan requirements and Commander Naval Air Forces readiness objectives. The government lacks adequate data rights to the HITS-IV technical data package, which will not be delivered and validated until FY28, precluding competition prior to that timeframe. Industry outreach conducted in January and February 2025 yielded only two responses from small businesses (Kastel Enterprises and BHPE LLC), neither deemed capable of satisfying program requirements. Work includes Hawkeye Cockpit Technical Refresh hardware and software updates, Special Projects Advanced Readiness Trainer Afloat/Ashore devices, E-2D Distributed Readiness Trainers, Joint Simulation Environment integration, distributed mission testing capabilities, virtual maintenance training, instructor and operator training, obsolescence remediation, cybersecurity updates, contractor logistics support, and associated technical documentation. Program completion is estimated for September 30, 2034, with authority expiring September 30, 2031. A required Ready for Training date is established for Fiscal Year 2028. The contract award value is redacted.
