About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is seeking a modification to update Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) for the AN/APR-39D(V)2 Signal Acquisition Circuit Card Assembly. The project involves replacing the Quadrant Receiver Exciter Circuit Card Assembly, porting and updating previously developed software, and delivering updated processors for the AN/APR-39 system. NAVAIR intends to award this contract on a sole source basis to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC), citing their unique status as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the equipment. The government is invoking statutory authority under Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) to justify non-competitive procurement. All inquiries must be directed to Contract Specialist Sarah Willis, with responses required by June 18, 2025, and companies must provide clear evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for the contract, which falls under the NAICS category 334511 for navigation and guidance system manufacturing. The contract is a modification to the existing Full Rate Production contract N0001920C0054, covering fiscal years 2019-2022. NGSC holds proprietary technical data for the AN/APR-39, which prevents alternative suppliers from competing. Subcontracting opportunities are available, with interested parties encouraged to contact Kelly Valerugo at NGSC directly. The procurement is specifically for defense applications within the electronic countermeasures and counter-countermeasures equipment sector, focusing on updating critical signal acquisition technology for naval aviation systems.
Notice text
THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD has a requirement to award a modification to update the Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) scope to replace the Quadrant Receiver Exciter (QRE) Circuit Card Assembly (CCA), port previously developed software from the original effort and update the software using the current baseline configuration, and deliver updated AN/APR-39D(V)2 processors utilizing the Signal Acquisition (SigAcq) CCA under the Full Rate Production (FRP) FY19-22 contract N0001920C0054 to support AN/APR-39.
The Government intends to solicit this effort on a sole source basis to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC), in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." NGSC is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the equipment addressed in this synopsis and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. In addition, the Government does not own a Technical Data Package (TDP) for the AN/APR-39. Drawings and data are proprietary to NGSC.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. All inquiries and concerns must be addressed to the Contract Specialist, Sarah Willis at sarah.m.willis10.civ@us.navy.mil. Responses to this notice must be submitted by 18 June 2025.
