Gensym G2 Development Licenses

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division at Lakehurst, New Jersey, intends to procure two Gensym G2 deployment licenses to support laboratory-based development, testing, and troubleshooting of the Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) system across multiple test sites and facilities. The AAG system is a carrier-based aircraft arrestment system that relies on Gensym G2 software as a critical component of its health monitoring and prognostics capabilities. The Government plans to award this requirement on a sole-source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, justifying the sole-source approach on the grounds that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. Interested parties may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by the February 25, 2026 deadline at 14:00 PM EDT to demonstrate their ability to fulfill the requirement, though the Government reserves the right to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received. All inquiries and concerns should be directed to Contract Specialist Ms. Zaib Nageeb at zaib.nageeb.civ@us.navy.mil, and all submissions must be provided electronically as hard copies will not be accepted.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and identifies SHI International Corp (CAGE Code: 1HTF0) as the incumbent contractor targeted for sole-source award. The contract will be issued as a firm-fixed price agreement, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The requirement involves a quantity of two licenses, with no specified timeline for service delivery or performance period outlined in the synopsis. This notice serves as an informational announcement only and does not constitute a request for proposal; responses received will not automatically result in contract award, as the final determination to proceed with sole-source procurement or open competition remains entirely within the Government's discretion.
