About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to increase the ceiling and extend the period of performance for a basic ordering agreement (BOA) for 30mm chain-fed automatic guns in varying configurations, associated spare parts, special tooling and equipment, and 30mm gun-specific engineering services. This is a sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, justified by the proprietary nature of the detailed design specifications which remain exclusively with the incumbent contractor. The government has determined that no other responsible source possesses the capability to produce the required 30mm guns and provide the associated engineering support. While the government is not conducting a competitive procurement, all interested parties may submit a capability statement for consideration in determining whether to proceed with the sole-source approach; however, the government retains sole discretion to reject such statements and pursue competitive procurement if deemed appropriate. The deadline for capability statement submissions is December 26, 2025, with an anticipated award date of January 28, 2027. Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be considered.
This procurement is designated as a sole-source award with no set-aside provisions and will be awarded exclusively to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (CAGE Code: 8K4J7), the current incumbent contractor. The contract ceiling is being increased from $79,000,000 to $150,000,000—an increase of $71,000,000—while the period of performance is being extended from June 29, 2027 to June 29, 2028. The procurement falls under NAICS code 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and PSC code 1005 (Guns, Through 30MM). The total contract value reflects the government's commitment to sustaining the production and engineering support capabilities for this specialized weapons system. Firms interested in challenging the sole-source determination must document their technical and manufacturing capabilities relevant to 30mm automatic gun production and associated services.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Crane, IN intends to increase the ceiling for basic ordering agreement (BOA) N0016423GJN16 from $79,000,000 by $71,000,000 to $150,000,000. Additionally, the period of performance (PoP) will be extended from an end date of 29 June 2027 to 29 June 2028. BOA N0016423GJN16 is a sole-source BOA for the procurement of 30mm chain-fed automatic guns in varying configurations with associated spare parts and special tools, and 30mm gun specific engineering services, to NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION. The anticipated award date is 28 January 2027.
The Government intends to increase this BOA ceiling and PoP with only one source, NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION (CAGE CODE: 8K4J7) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented at FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

Specifications, plans or drawings relating to the procurement described are not available and cannot be furnished by the Government. The detailed design of the 30mm automatic chain-driven gun remains proprietary to NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION making NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION the only source for design related engineering support.
