About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a sole-source purchase order to Astronics Connectivity System & Certification Corporation on September 23, 2026 for amendment of an existing Federal Aviation Administration Supplemental Type Certificate for the Global Monitoring Laboratory's Greenhouse Gas Aircraft System, extending certification to additional Boeing 737 aircraft platforms.
The justification cites Astronics CSC's unique qualifications as the original designer, engineer, manufacturer, and integrator of the NGAS system for the Boeing 737-900ER platform under prior contract 1305M323PNRMJ0676. Market research, including a sources sought notice posted June 13, 2026 and a presolicitation notice of intent posted August 24, 2026, identified four interested vendors, all determined incapable of performing the requirement. The acquisition is structured as one base task and two optional tasks. The base task involves engineering and certification services, including structural and Computational Fluid Dynamics verification, Master Document List updates, and biweekly project management meetings to amend the FAA STC for Boeing 737-800 or MAX series aircraft within six months of aircraft type identification. Optional Task A requires provision of recurring installation kits and configuration of the Sabre All-In-One Unit to interface with aircraft ARINC 429 ports for 5G data uploads. Optional Task B provides on-site support for hardware integration into the aircraft's Electrical and Electronics bay. The total period of performance is September 28, 2026 through September 27, 2029, with one year allocated for the base task and one year for each optional task if exercised. Statutory authority is 41 U.S.C. 1901 using simplified procedures up to $9 million under the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul.
