Update #2 · Latest ·


The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to release a solicitation for the MQ-25 Air System Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Program to be awarded under a limited competition basis. The MQ-25 EMD solicitation will be issued only to The Boeing Company, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. The basis for limiting competition, in accordance with 10 USC 2304(c) as implemented by FAR 6.302 (FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)), is that there are only a limited number of responsible sources and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. These companies have refined their solutions and matured their technologies associated with the unmanned carrier based aviation need and award to any contractor other than one of these four companies would result in significant schedule delays and require substantial duplication of costs which are not expected to be recouped by the Government through full and open competition.



Additionally, NAVAIR intends to release a solicitation for an accompanying contract for studies and analysis supporting the MQ-25 EMD Program. The MQ-25 studies and analysis solicitation will be issued only to The Boeing Company, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, and award of this contract will be made on a sole source basis to the offeror selected for award of the MQ-25 EMD contract, in accordance with 10 USC 2304(c) as implemented by FAR 6.302 (FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)); Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
