About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, Maryland intends to award a sole-source delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001924G0001 to DRS Systems, Inc. for support equipment, system documentation, software development training, and facility support to establish organic software activities for the Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasure (DAIRCM) system, with responses due November 5, 2026. The procurement is justified under Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 because DRS Systems is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the AN/AAQ-45 equipment and no technical data package suitable for competition exists in government hands.
Tasking encompasses completion of Operational Flight Program (OFP) and User Data File (UDF) developments, system integration, and test support. The synopsis serves as market research to identify potential and eligible subcontractors; it is not a request for proposal and does not obligate the government to pay for information submitted by interested parties.
NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 5865 (Electronic Countermeasures, Counter-Countermeasures and Quick Reaction Capability Equipment) apply. Subcontracting interest inquiries should be directed to DRS Systems Senior Controller Jeffrey Cutre at (214) 996-2634 or jeffreyacutre@drs.com.
