About this opportunity
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 to increase DAIRCM (Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasure) production test capacity, with responses due by June 25, 2026. This is market research, not a solicitation; NAVAIR is not obligated to pay for information provided.
The procurement will include Far Field Test Stations (FFTS), Laser 2 hardware for FFTS, DAIRCM hardware for testing, and data deliverables. The sole-source justification rests on DRS's status as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the equipment in question and the Government's lack of a suitable technical data package for the AN/AAQ-45 to support competition. The justification is supported by Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1.
Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact DRS directly via Jeffrey Cutre at jeffreycutre@drs.com. The PSC category is Electronic Countermeasures, Counter-Countermeasures And Quick Reaction Capability Equipment (5865).
