About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a modification to The Boeing Company (Boeing) for a trade study to identify the impacts of the Windows 10 End of Service on the MQ-25 Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). NAVAIR plans to negotiate with only Boeing, as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the MQ-25A, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR Subpart 6.302-1. The government will consider information from interested parties to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted, but no phone inquiries will be entertained. Responses must be submitted by August 8, 2024.
This opportunity is not set-aside, and Boeing is the current contractor for the MQ-25 program. The government has not disclosed any award values or budget ranges for this proposed modification. The trade study is focused on the specific impacts of the Windows 10 End of Service on the MQ-25 UAS, and Boeing's unique capabilities as the sole designer and manufacturer make it the only responsible source for this requirement.
Notice text

For this proposed action, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” Boeing is the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the MQ-25A unmanned aircraft and therefore, Boeing is the only contractor with the experienced staff, necessary plants, equipment, suppliers, and technical understanding of what is required for the procurement. Boeing is the only source with the unique capability to address the interrelated impacts of each order on each other and on the developmental efforts of the MQ-25 program.
