About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) at Patuxent River, Maryland is seeking to award a delivery order under Existing Basic Ordering Agreement N0042121G0005 for AN/ARC-210(V) radio sustainment support and training services in support of the New Zealand Ministry of Defense and PMA-209. The procurement encompasses training on familiarization and platform integration of AN/ARC-210 radios, along with in-country technical support in New Zealand to address design integration, installation, certification, and transition to sustainment activities, supplemented by remote support via email, phone, video conference, and contractor lab troubleshooting. The government intends to pursue this acquisition on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR Part 6.302-1, citing that Rockwell Collins, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of providing these specialized services due to proprietary technical data and exclusive product support capabilities. Interested parties may respond to this pre-solicitation notice to demonstrate capability and interest; however, the government will use all information received prior to the February 17, 2026 closing date solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and anticipates awarding a delivery order to the incumbent contractor, Rockwell Collins, Inc., located at 400 Collins Road NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The notice does not specify an award value or detailed budget range for the delivery order, nor does it provide specific quantity metrics or comprehensive timeline parameters for the sustainment support services. The goods involved are classified under NAICS category 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC code 5821 (Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Airborne), indicating the technical and specialized nature of the AN/ARC-210 radio systems and associated support. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 2, 2026, with a closing date of February 17, 2026, which represents an unusual discrepancy that suggests the due date may be incorrect or represents an earlier administrative deadline. Prospective contractors should carefully review the government's determination regarding sole-source justification before investing resources in a competitive response.
