About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) PMA-281 Strike Planning and Execution Systems intends to procure comprehensive maintenance, repair, and modernization services for critical naval aviation systems. The contract will support the Airwing Shipboard Integration (AWSI) Team's family of systems used in US Navy aircraft carriers, including Bravo Papa, Joint Mission Planning System, Carrier Ready Room Collaboration Briefing System, and other related technologies. Key contract requirements include full system life cycle support, encompassing installation, system integration, fleet support, modernization research, end-of-life research, testing, evaluation, and Information Assurance sustainment. The procurement is specifically focused on mission capabilities within PMA-281, with a primary objective of providing technical, engineering, and logistics support to warfighters. The solicitation was posted on January 14, 2025, with responses due by January 29, 2025, and an anticipated contract award in July 2025.
The contract is designated as an 8(a) Sole Source set-aside, specifically targeted for Chugach Dynamic Solutions, LLC, a Small Disadvantaged (Alaskan Native Corporation Owned) firm. Chugach is positioned as the sole developer, manufacturer, and installer of the AWSI systems, maintaining exclusive technical data packages, manufacturing knowledge, and supply chain relationships. The place of performance is located in Anchorage, Alaska, with the contract falling under the Engineering Services NAICS category (541330). Since 2008, Chugach has been the exclusive provider of these interoperable systems, with unique capabilities that make them the only known source capable of accomplishing the requirement without cost duplication. The solicitation emphasizes that this is not a competitive proposal request, and interested small businesses can contact David Melvin for potential subcontracting opportunities.

Under PMA-281, the Airwing Shipboard Integration (AWSI) Team provides a family of systems to the warfighter in US Navy aircraft carriers (CVNs). These are Bravo Papa (BP), Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) Application and Central Access Library (JACAL), Carrier Ready Room Collaboration Briefing System (CRR CBS), Tactical File Share (TFS), Naval Exchange to Unify Systems (NEXUS) and other NAVAIR systems. It is expected that scope of the contract includes the entire spectrum of non-inherently governmental services associated with the full system life cycle support including installation, system integration, fleet support and modernization research, end-of-life research, test, evaluation and Information Assurance sustainment of these systems. This contract effort has a primary focus on mission capabilities within PMA-281.
