MQ-25 Full Power Run-Up Restraints

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst (NAWCAD LKE), intends to procure MXU-909/E Full Power Run-Up Restraints (Part Number 3608AS100-1, NSN 1730-01-456-8398) in support of the MQ-25 Stingray Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program. This pre-solicitation notice, issued by the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command on April 21, 2026, indicates the Government's intent to award a Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a three-year performance period. Interested vendors must be registered as active in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be considered for contract award. Potential offerors should note that this pre-solicitation notice does not constitute a formal request for proposals and does not obligate the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or reimburse any expenses incurred during the interest phase. The formal solicitation is expected to be released on the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) platform, and interested parties should monitor the website for its release. This procurement falls under NAICS code 332710 (Machine Shops) and PSC code 1730 (Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment).

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, restricting competition exclusively to small business concerns. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide estimated award values or specific quantity requirements at this pre-solicitation stage. The three-year IDIQ contract structure provides flexibility for delivery quantities to be determined based on actual Government requirements during the contract performance period. Interested small businesses must ensure their SAM registration is current and active prior to solicitation release to maintain eligibility for award consideration. The pre-solicitation notice serves as notification that a formal solicitation will follow, allowing potential vendors time to prepare their proposals and capability documentation. Offerors will be required to submit proposals through the Solicitation Module within PIEE once the formal solicitation is released.
