About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) seeks to procure UC-12W+ aircraft, which are FAA Type-Certified commercial cargo/passenger transport variants of the Beechcraft King Air 350, along with non-recurring engineering, training, engineering change proposals, and initial spares. This sole-source procurement is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1, as Textron Aviation is identified as the only responsible source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data necessary to meet the Government's requirements. The contract will be awarded on a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity basis to support NAVAIR's Tactical Airlift Program Office (PMA-207). While this is not a competitive solicitation, the Government will accept capability statements from interested parties through the closing date of May 13, 2026, though no development or qualification of alternative sources is anticipated. The solicitation was posted on April 28, 2026, with a response deadline of May 13, 2026.
The procurement carries no set-aside designation and is designated for Textron Aviation, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, as the sole source contractor. The contract structure includes a seven-year ordering period with an additional three option years, with an anticipated start date in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2027. Performance will be conducted in Wichita, Kansas, where Textron maintains its manufacturing facilities. No specific award value or quantity information is provided in the solicitation notice. This action falls under the Aircraft Manufacturing NAICS category (336411) and the Aircraft, Fixed Wing PSC category (1510).
