About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center issued a Limited Source Justification Notice for the procurement of specialized marine target equipment, specifically 48 PolyEthylene Tow Targets (PETTs) and 105 pontoons for the Low Cost Modular Target (LCMT) system. The sole source award was made to Forte Products for an estimated total cost of $652,244.30, with the contract N6893626F5006 awarded on October 6, 2025. The justification is based on the unique capabilities of the PETT Tow Target that are not available in the commercial market, including the ability to withstand speeds up to 35 knots, survive ballistic impacts, and provide easily accessible interiors for maintenance and augmentation. The Naval Air Warfare Center conducted extensive market research through industry conventions and investigations of manufacturing techniques, ultimately determining that no comparable products exist and that existing support systems and operator training are specifically designed for the PETT system. This sole source procurement is considered to represent the best value for the government, with NAVAIR planning to pursue additional discounts while continuing market research for potential future alternatives.
