Northrop Grumman is recognized as the designer, developer, and producer of this specific system. The procurement is being pursued under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which allows for sole-source acquisition when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.

Contractors have until 1000 local time on April 17, 2025, to submit their interest, capability details, and past performance data to Mr. Justin McPherson and Ms. Stasia Baker via email. While responses will be evaluated, the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the procurement.

Interested parties should reference the Notice ID in their submissions and are advised that telephone calls will not be accepted. The contract is categorized under NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and PSC 1005 (Guns, Through 30Mm), indicating the specialized nature of the procurement.
