The Federal Aviation Administration issued a Special Notice on May 26, 2026, announcing a sole-source extension of the NAVTAC II Support Services contract to the incumbent contractor, Tetra Tech, with a response deadline of June 5, 2026. The extension runs from May 22 through July 3, 2026, with an estimated ceiling value of $5,665,000.

The extension provides critical technical, operational, and programmatic support to the FAA's Navigation Programs and Aeronautical Services, including program management, technical analysis and systems engineering, operational support for terrestrial and satellite-based navigation systems, policy and standards development, and stakeholder engagement. The sole-source justification cites Tetra Tech's specialized knowledge accumulated over seven years of continuous performance, along with proprietary tools and processes embedded in FAA workflows. The FAA argues that transitioning to a new contractor would require six to nine months of onboarding and knowledge transfer, resulting in estimated duplicative costs of $5 million to $7 million and schedule delays. The extension addresses delays in the NAVTAC III follow-on procurement process, particularly related to CFO review and approval prioritization of Brand New Air Traffic Control System projects. Without the extension, the FAA would face a lapse in mission-critical navigation support services affecting operational continuity, system safety, and federal mandate compliance.
