About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD is planning to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for comprehensive support services related to the GQM-163A Coyote Supersonic Sea-Skimming Target (SSST). The procurement encompasses modification, engineering changes, sustainment, repair, sparing, storage, logistics support, test support, and engineering support services for the aerial target system. The contract will be justified under FAR 6.302-1 as only one responsible source exists that can satisfy the agency's requirements, with no competitive proposals being sought. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on September 25, 2025, with a due date of October 20, 2025, though this appears to be for informational purposes only as the contract award is anticipated for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. The contract structure will combine Firm Fixed Price and Cost-Plus Fixed Fee arrangements for the Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) and In-Service Engineering (ISE) components.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is designated as a sole source award to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC), located at 1575 South Price Road, Chandler, AZ 85286. NGSC, operating through its former Orbital Sciences Corporation (OSC) Launch Vehicles Division (LVD), is identified as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the GQM-163A Coyote system, possessing exclusive proprietary data rights and requisite technical knowledge. The anticipated contract period spans five years total, structured as a one-year base period followed by four ordering years covering contract years 2027-2031. Potential subcontractors interested in opportunities with NGSC can contact Ms. Susie Chappelle at Susie.Chappelle@ngc.com. The notice explicitly states there are no government commitments to issue solicitations or make awards, and interested parties assume financial risk for any expenditures made prior to contract award.
