HIGH LIFT ADAPTER ADU-954/E, Outriggers, Push Up Adapter

The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command, through Naval Air Warfare Center, is soliciting proposals for a five-year IDIQ, fixed-price contract for High Lift Adapter ADU-954/E with Outriggers, ADU-952/E Push Up Adapter, and MHU-191 Munitions Loader for the U.S. Navy (USN) and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), with proposals due November 23, 2026. The Set Aside is Total Small Business, and offerors must qualify as small businesses under the solicitation's NAICS code, 332912.

Offerors must be active in SAM at award, hold a current NIST SP 800-171 assessment, and hold CMMC Level 2 status in the Supplier Performance Risk System. They must propose delivery within eight months of contract award, supported by a narrative addressing material lead times, production milestones, and manufacturing capacity. Only new, manufacturer-warranted equipment is acceptable; remanufactured and gray market items are prohibited. Access to the Statement of Work and technical specifications requires a valid DD Form 2345 signed by U.S. and Canadian officials. Requests for these documents were due October 22, 2026, at 9 AM EST, and failure to request and receive them by that deadline renders proposals technically unacceptable.

Year 1 firm quantities are 3 units each of the outriggers, push up adapter, and munitions loader, plus 6 proof load certificates. Years 2-5 carry ranges of 0-15 units for USN and 0-10 units for RAAF per item, and 0-30 USN and 0-20 RAAF proof load certificates. USN items deliver to NAVAIR Lakehurst SE Staging Facility, New Jersey, and RAAF items deliver to RAAF Base Amberley, Australia, under FOB Origin terms. Inspection and acceptance occur at the contractor's facility, and payment runs through Wide Area Workflow.

Award is best value through a trade-off between Price and Delivery (Lead Time) among technically acceptable offerors, with the two factors weighted approximately equally. The Government may select a shorter lead time where programmatic benefits justify the added cost; otherwise, award goes to the lowest Total Evaluated Price. The Total Evaluated Price sums proposed unit prices at maximum quantities of 3 units in Year 1 and 25 units in each of Years 2-5. Proposals must be valid for 60 calendar days after close. The effort requires certified cost and pricing data under FAR 15.403-4 at the $10 million threshold, a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, a DFARS 252.215-7009 checklist, and a cost and pricing analysis for major subcontracts over $10 million.
