About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue a delivery order under a Basic Ordering Agreement to Rockwell Collins, Inc. for the continued engineering, production, test, and travel support of the Digital Red Switch System (DRSS) upgrade on the E-6B aircraft. This system provides enhanced distribution of audio from mission radios to the Battle Staff and Communications Central, as well as added conferencing capabilities. The authority for other than full and open competition is due to the system having only one responsible source. NAVAIR will consider all proposals received within 30 days of this synopsis publication, but a competitive procurement is solely at the Government's discretion.

This procurement is not set-aside. The primary NAICS code is 335415 - Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing, and the primary PSC code is 5820 - Radio and Television Communications Equipment. The current contractor is Rockwell Collins, Inc. located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The delivery order is expected to cover fiscal years 2024 through 2028, but no specific award value or budget range is provided.
