About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD is pursuing a sole source contract with Lockheed Martin for additional F/A-18E/F Infrared Search and Track (IRST) Block II Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs). Specifically, the procurement involves Infrared Receiver (IRR), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and Processor components. Contractors must be capable of performing Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) and troubleshooting issues at their facilities, with potential requirements for designing or acquiring Special Tooling Equipment (STE). The procurement is being pursued under 10 USC 2304 (C)(1) statutory authority, which allows for a non-competitive acquisition when only one source can satisfy agency requirements. Interested parties may submit a Statement of Capability and Qualifications within 30 days of the publication date (by April 4, 2025), demonstrating their ability to perform the government's requirement and providing proof of approved facility and personnel clearances.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract opportunity. Lockheed Martin is the sole identified potential contractor, leveraging their existing manufacturing knowledge and technical expertise for the IRST system. While no specific award value or budget range is detailed, the procurement focuses on aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing within the NAICS 336413 category. The contract involves electronic countermeasures and counter-countermeasures equipment, categorized under PSC 5865. For small business or subcontracting opportunities, interested parties can contact Lockheed Martin directly at (972) 603-2950. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete this requirement, with the current pre-solicitation notice serving primarily as an informational document.
