The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division in Lakehurst, New Jersey is seeking to procure engineering services for finalizing and implementing drawing changes for Part Number D0831E0001-1001 in support of the United States Navy and various Foreign Military Sales (FMS) countries. This is a sole-source procurement under the statutory authority of Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, indicating that only one responsible source can satisfy the government's requirements. Boeing, located in Saint Louis, Missouri, has been identified as the exclusive vendor capable of meeting these requirements due to its status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer and sole holder of proprietary data rights for this system. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, the government will consider all responses received within fifteen days of publication to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement. The deadline for all responses is April 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EST, and inquiries should be directed to Scott Bestreski at scott.a.bestreski.civ@us.navy.mil; telephone inquiries will not be accepted.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation for small businesses or other protected groups. Boeing (CAGE: 0PXV4) is the identified incumbent and sole-source contractor for this effort, as it is the exclusive data right holder and OEM for the proprietary system in question. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify an award value or budget range for this contract. No numerical details regarding quantities of goods or specific service timelines are provided in the notice. The government reserves the right to modify the terms outlined in this notice and is under no obligation to solicit for award based on responses received. This notification serves primarily to notify potential competitors of the government's intention to award on a sole-source basis while allowing for a brief period to submit information challenging that determination.
