About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, Maryland is seeking to procure advanced electronic warfare integration services for the F/A-18 E/F aircraft platform through a sole source modification to an existing delivery order. The procurement involves the ADVEW (Advanced Display and Engagement Weapon) system, which will consolidate the ALR-67 Radar Warning Receiver and ALQ-214 Self-Protect Jammer into a unified system with automated electronic warfare processing capabilities using open system architecture. Key contract requirements include final design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of A-Kit configurations for production Block III F/A-18E and F/A-18F aircraft, with integration of AN/APG-79 radar wideband receiver upgrades and support for both with and without Wide Band Radar System (WRBS) variants. The sole source justification is based on the statutory authority of Title 10, U.S.C Section 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as Boeing is the original equipment manufacturer possessing exclusive ownership of the F/A-18 design and drawing packages required for completion. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 20, 2026, with an anticipated response due date of April 3, 2026.
This procurement does not utilize any set-asides, and The Boeing Company is the incumbent contractor under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001921G0006. The modification will definitize a previously awarded Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA) with anticipated completion and delivery in FY26. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities are directed to contact Boeing's Schyler Pokorski at Schyler.M.Pokorski@boeing.com. The contract falls under NAICS category 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and PSC category 1510 (Aircraft, Fixed Wing), indicating the defense aircraft integration classification of this procurement.
Notice text
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD (V2231) intends to negotiate and award a sole source modification to The Boeing Company (TBC) under Delivery Order (DO) N0001925F0085 under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0001921G0006. 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-18 E/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.
This modification will definitize the previously awarded Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA) and is anticipated to include 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 and without the Wide Band Radar System (WRBS) in FY26.
This acquisition is being pursued on sole source basis under the statutory authority of Title 10, U.S.C Section 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” TBC is the OEM and maintains the F/A-18 and EA-18G design and drawing packages of all the systems integrated on the Platform. The Government does not own a complete F/A-18 drawing package with Government Purpose Rights. Only TBC possesses the technical data necessary to fulfill the minimum requirement. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact The Boeing Company attention: Schyler Pokorski, Email: Schyler.M.Pokorski@boeing.com
