About this opportunity

The Naval Research Laboratory's Signature Technology Office (Code 5009) has issued a Special Notice regarding the procurement of inflatable military decoys. Published by the Department of the Navy through the Office of Naval Research on February 13, 2026, this notice announces the agency's intent to award a sole source contract to I2K Defense, LLC. This is not a competitive solicitation, and no solicitation package is available for other interested parties. The notice clarifies that this procurement is based on the unique qualifications of the selected vendor and prior investments already made by NRL in developing this capability.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to notify the public of NRL's intention to proceed with a sole source award for inflatable military decoys to I2K Defense, LLC based on prior testing and system integration work already conducted with this vendor. The Naval Research Laboratory determined that I2K Defense is the only responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements, as any other vendor would require unacceptable delays and duplicative costs to continue this developmental effort. The due date for any written comments or questions regarding this notice is February 20, 2026, and all inquiries must be submitted in writing to the designated Contract Specialist. Interested parties should note that this notice does not constitute a request for proposals, and telephone inquiries will not be accepted.

Only written correspondence addressing this sole source justification will be considered from stakeholders.
