About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a sole-source cost reimbursement delivery order to The Boeing Company for an Advanced Electronic Warfare (ADVEW) upgrade to the F/A-18 E/F aircraft electronic warfare suite. The contract will combine two existing electronic warfare systems - the ALR-67 Radar Warning Receiver and ALQ-214 Self-Protect Jammer - into a single integrated system with enhanced automated processing capabilities. NAVAIR will procure this upgrade under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001921G0006, utilizing 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) statutory authority for other than full and open competition. The agency has determined Boeing is the only firm with the necessary design knowledge and technical expertise to provide the required platform integration support within specified timeframes. Boeing's unique technical qualifications make them the sole responsible source capable of meeting the government's minimum needs.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates NAVAIR will initially award an Undefinitized Contract Action to procure long-lead materials and components, with the complete delivery order anticipated to include final design, fabrication, delivery, and installation for production Block III F/A-18E and F/A-18F aircraft configured with Wide Band Radar System in fiscal year 2025. No specific set-aside designations are applied to this opportunity, and the contract falls under the Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing NAICS code 336412. The procurement will focus on integrating multiple sensor enhancements, including the AN/APG-79 radar Wideband Receiver upgrades, to provide instantaneous bandwidth and comprehensive electronic warfare signal integration. Interested subcontractors are directed to contact Jack Kafoury at Boeing via email for potential collaboration opportunities. The pre-solicitation was posted on December 9, 2024, with responses due by December 24, 2024.

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at NAS Patuxent River, MD (V2231) intends to negotiate and award a cost reimbursement delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0001921G0006 on a sole- source basis to The Boeing Company (TBC) for an upgrade to the F/A-18 E/F Electronic Warfare (EW) suite, known as Advanced Electronic Warfare (ADVEW). ADVEW will combine two systems of the existing Electronic Warfare (EW) suite, ALR-67 Radar Warning Receiver and the ALQ-214 Self-Protect Jammer, into a single system providing automated EW processing in an Open System Architecture. The suite will enable both offensive and defensive capabilities for the F/A-18E/F and support multiple sensor enhancements to include the AN/APG-79 radar Wideband Receiver (WBR) upgrades providing instantaneous bandwidth and integration of EW signals into ADVEW.
Initially, NAVAIR intends to award an Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA) to procure long lead material (e.g. components, material, parts, and associated efforts). The complete delivery order anticipates including final design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of the A-Kit design for a production Block III F/A-18E and a production Block III F/A-18F configured with the Wide Band Radar System (WRBS) in FY 25.
This requirement will be procured in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”
TBC is the only firm with the design knowledge and technical expertise required to provide the platform integration support within the required timeframes and without substantial duplication of costs. No other source has the technical qualifications and necessary resources to perform the work described herein, nor will any other supplies or services satisfy the Government’s requirements. As such, NAVAIR has determined that TBC is the only responsible source capable of meeting the Government’s minimum needs.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact The Boeing Company attention: Jack Kafoury, Email: jack.m.kafoury@boeing.com.
