About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source purchase order to Harris Aerial LLC for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) procurement. This acquisition will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.106-1(b) and is structured as a firm-fixed price purchase order not exceeding $250,000. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1500 employees and PSC code 1560 for Airframe Structural Components. The NRL has determined that only one responsible source exists that can satisfy the agency's requirements, making this a sole source procurement rather than a competitive solicitation.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to formally announce the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing interested parties an opportunity to demonstrate that competition would be advantageous to the government. Contractors have until September 9, 2025 (five calendar days from publication) to submit responses showing clear and convincing evidence that competitive procurement would benefit the government. The procurement includes various UAV components and services as detailed in the attached continuation sheet, including carrier systems, batteries, propellers, ground control systems, and training services. Responses must be submitted to Erik Wells at erik.wells2.civ@us.navy.mil and should reference the Notice of Intent number, though the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed competitively and will not reimburse any costs associated with capability information submissions.
