About this opportunity
The F-35 Joint Program Office intends to sole source a contract to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company for the Reprogramming Verification and Validation System (RVVS) Phase 3 effort, which involves purchasing long-lead hardware to support Block 4 Electronic Warfare upgrades for the F-35 aircraft. The Naval Air Systems Command is managing this procurement on behalf of the F-35 JPO located in Arlington, VA. The contract will require Lockheed Martin to execute hardware design, conduct design reviews, perform verification testing, and ultimately deliver and integrate the hardware solution into the United States Reprogramming Laboratory. The government justifies the sole source approach under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because Lockheed Martin is the only responsible source with the necessary experience, proprietary technical documentation, software algorithms, and expertise to meet the requirements within the specified timeframe. Any capability statements or proposals must be submitted within fifteen days of the September 3, 2025 publication date, with responses due by September 24, 2025.
This procurement does not include any set-aside designations and is being pursued as a sole source acquisition with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company (CAGE code 81755) as the intended contractor. Lockheed Martin serves as the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and integrator of the F-35 aircraft and related equipment, making them the incumbent contractor with unique qualifications for this specialized work. The contract is classified under NAICS code 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 1510 for Aircraft, Fixed Wing. While specific award values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the procurement focuses on acquiring long-lead hardware items that will support critical electronic warfare capabilities. The notice indicates that subcontracting opportunities may be available through Lockheed Martin, though the primary contract relationship will be directly with the original equipment manufacturer. The timeline emphasizes the urgency of the Block 4 EW upgrade requirements and the need for specialized integration into existing reprogramming laboratory infrastructure.
