About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, specifically the Commander Fleet Readiness Center (COMFRC), issued this Special Notice on April 7, 2026, announcing its intent to award a sole-source Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order to Lynx Software Technologies, Inc. for LynxOS v7.0.0 and v7.3.1 Real-Time Operating System software and support services. The procurement justification is based on exclusive licensing agreements, as Lynx Software Technologies is the original equipment manufacturer and sole developer of LynxOS, with no authorized resellers. The estimated contract value is $37,044.72, falling below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes, but rather formal notification of the Navy's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement action.
All responsible sources are invited to submit capability statements within three calendar days of publication (by April 10, 2026) to be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement, though the Government reserves the right to proceed with the sole-source award at its discretion. The procurement covers a one-year period of performance ending May 30, 2026, and includes software license renewal, delivery of all new releases and patches developed during the performance period, and technical support Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. The support services must address software configuration issues, bug fixes, and licensing matters through provided directions and methodologies rather than custom modifications. Interested parties should contact Sean S. Quigley at sean.s.quigley.civ@us.navy.mil for additional information regarding this FY26 MH-60R/S Mission Software Fleet Support Team procurement requirement.
