About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD intends to issue a sole source delivery order to North Star Scientific Corporation (NSSC) for the continuation of the PMA-231 Wideband Active Integrated Multi-function Electronically-scanned Array (WAIMEA) effort. This procurement stems from a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Topic # N06-125 focused on developing an L-Band Solid-State High Power Amplifier for Airborne Platforms. NAVAIR has determined that NSSC is the only source with the requisite knowledge and technical expertise to advance this effort. Interested parties may submit a capabilities statement prior to the closing date of January 29, 2025, though the government emphasizes this is not a competitive proposal request. The agency retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the procurement based on received responses.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity. The procurement falls under NAICS Category 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, with a Product Service Code of AC13 for National Defense R&D Services. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract appears focused on continuing advanced electronic array research for military aviation applications. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests a specialized technical requirement that limits competitive bidding. Potential respondents are advised that the government will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing capabilities statements, and no telephone responses will be accepted. Interested parties can contact Brian Mattingly via email for additional information about this unique research and development opportunity.
