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 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.
