The Government intends to sole source this procurement from Element under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Part 13) on a firm fixed-price basis. The contractor must be an international leader in aircraft and avionics lightning protection with five or more years of experience providing lightning protection training courses. The course curriculum must comprehensively address lightning indirect effects, coupling mechanisms, analysis and testing of transient levels, protection techniques, and certification and verification methods, with instruction targeted at engineers concerned with lightning protection design and certification of avionics and electrical systems. Key deadlines include the original quotation due date of February 6, 2026, with an amended delivery date of September 1, 2026, though the original solicitation requested delivery by March 3, 2026. The solicitation was amended on March 10, 2026 (effective March 12, 2026) to modify the scope and performance schedule.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. Element is identified as the intended sole-source contractor, and any competing bids from other vendors must come from authorized Element distributors capable of maintaining Element's warranty. The training course is designed for 12 to 20 students and will be delivered as a two-to-five-day in-person course at or near Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. No specific award value range is provided in the solicitation documents. Delivery is required by September 1, 2026, with performance and inspection occurring at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division in Patuxent River, Maryland.
