About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is seeking to procure a retrofit kit for the MQ-4C Triton ground asset (FB-1), specifically to upgrade to an IFC-4 Forward Operating Base (FOB) Hardware configuration. The procurement will include the FOB software suite, necessary configurations, and supporting documentation to enable US Government installation. This is a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, with Northrop Grumman Space and Systems (NGSC) identified as the exclusive source due to their unique design and integration capabilities for the Triton air vehicles and ground stations. The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Delivery Order, with an anticipated award in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The due date for this opportunity is May 12, 2025, though the solicitation explicitly states this is an informational notice and not a competitive proposal request.
The contract opportunity has no specific set-aside designation and will be performed in Patuxent River, Maryland. The anticipated period of performance is approximately 12 months, targeting the retrofit of one (1) ground asset. While no specific award value is disclosed, the procurement encompasses comprehensive hardware and software components for the Triton system. The NAICS code is 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), and the Product Service Code is 1550 (Unmanned Aircraft), reflecting the technical nature of the procurement. Notably, the government emphasizes that no telephone or electronic responses will be accepted, and interested parties are directed to seek potential subcontracting opportunities directly with NGSC. The notice also clearly states that the government makes no commitments to issue solicitations or make an award, and parties should not expend resources in anticipation of a contract.
