About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is seeking a contractor to provide Advanced Aircraft Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (AARDT and E) support services for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD). The primary objective of this contract is to support research, development, management, design, documentation, fabrication, installation, integration, test, evaluation, operation, and maintenance for Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test (IBST) capabilities. Contractors will be responsible for supporting NAVAIR and other Department of Defense and partner nation programs through comprehensive technical services. The solicitation was posted on March 7, 2025, with proposals due by April 7, 2025, giving potential bidders approximately one month to prepare and submit their responses. The contract falls under the Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences category (NAICS 541715) and will be evaluated based on the contractor's technical capabilities, past performance, and proposed approach to supporting advanced aerospace research and development initiatives.
This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside, which means only small businesses are eligible to compete for the contract. While specific award values are not disclosed in the notice, the contract appears to be for a follow-on effort supporting critical defense research and development activities. The place of performance will likely be at NAWCAD facilities, potentially including research laboratories and test centers supporting naval aviation technology development. The contract is expected to provide comprehensive support for experimental development services in national defense research, with a focus on integrated battlespace simulation and testing capabilities. Potential contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in advanced aircraft research, development methodologies, and the ability to support complex military technology programs across various platforms and operational environments.
