About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command has published a Special Notice regarding the PMA-264 Air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) UnderSea Advantage (USA) Block 1 Digital Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording (DIFAR) Vertical Line Array (DDVLA) Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) procurement. This notice provides responses to contractor questions received during the Request for Information period following an Industry Day session. The procurement falls under the underwater sound equipment product service code and relates to search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical system manufacturing. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command is managing this defense-related opportunity, which has no set-aside designation. The notice was posted on October 1, 2025, with responses due by October 15, 2025.
The Special Notice serves to clarify technical and contractual details for contractors interested in the upcoming undersea anti-submarine warfare program, with a planned contract award date of July 2026. Key program elements include government retention of systems integration and design authority, with plans to provide up to two lower DDVLA units as government-furnished property to the selected contractor. SeaLandAire Technologies (SLAT) will function as a design agent and advisor, funded for Non-Recurring Engineering work, with Technical Data Package transition expected at the System Level Critical Design Review. The EMD contract will be incrementally funded through research and development resources, and government responses indicate no anticipated impacts from potential continuing resolution scenarios. Contractors have until October 15, 2025, to submit their responses to this Special Notice, though specific eligibility criteria are not detailed in the current documentation.
