Navigation System

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command has issued a Special Notice regarding a Navigation System procurement opportunity. This synopsis was published on March 17, 2026, in accordance with FAR Part 5.201 and announces the agency's intent to award a contract related to navigation system capabilities. The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific is the contracting organization responsible for this acquisition. The opportunity is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order and does not utilize any small business set-aside provisions. This notice provides advance notification of the Navy's contracting intentions to the federal marketplace.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to announce the Navy's intent to award a noncompetitive purchase order to Exail Defense Systems, Inc., a contractor located in Lincoln, Rhode Island. The contract award is scheduled to occur following the March 24, 2026 due date, which serves as the deadline for any interested parties to submit relevant information or documentation. Since this is a noncompetitive award to a pre-selected contractor, other firms are not eligible to compete for this particular opportunity; the notice serves primarily as a transparency mechanism rather than an open competition. The identified contractor, Exail Defense Systems, Inc., holds Unique Entity ID Q1B3NG6LP9B5 and CAGE Code 3MFU2. This Special Notice fulfills the federal government's requirement to publicly announce contract awards and their anticipated recipients prior to formal award execution.
