About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) seeks to procure up to 17 UC-12W aircraft, which are FAA Type-Certified commercial cargo/passenger transport aircraft variants of the Beechcraft King Air 350, along with non-recurring engineering, engineering change proposals, and initial spares. This solicitation is posted on September 19, 2025, with responses due by October 10, 2025. The procurement will be awarded as a sole source Firm-Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to Textron Aviation under FAR 6.302-1 authority, as Textron is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the government's requirements. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit capability statements for government consideration, though NAVAIR does not intend to fund development or qualification of alternative sources. The contract supports NAVAIR's Tactical Airlift Program Office (PMA-207) requirements.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be awarded directly to Textron Aviation, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the UC-12W aircraft. The contract structure includes a five-year ordering period with an anticipated start date in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2027. Performance will take place in Wichita, Kansas, where Textron Aviation maintains its operations. The procurement covers a maximum quantity of 17 aircraft units along with associated engineering services and spare parts necessary to sustain the UC-12W fleet. This acquisition falls under the Aircraft Manufacturing NAICS category (336411) and the Aircraft, Fixed Wing PSC category (1510).
