Tender Details
Requirement
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), PMA-226 Adversary and Specialized Aircraft, Adversary F-5 Integrated Product Team (IPT), has a requirement to issue a modification to increase the scope of work on contract N00421-25-C-0053, a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) sole source contract awarded to Raytheon Technologies Corporation (RTX) with an existing period of performance of twelve (12) months. Contract N00421-25-C-0053 was awarded as Phase one (1) of the total requirement to update the APX-119 Digital Control Panel (DCP, P/N 4087561) software on F-5 aircraft to improve pilot safety. The APX-119 DCP is used on United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) F-5N/F aircraft to control transponder settings. The F-5 is typically flown by a single pilot and mission requirements often require frequent manipulation of transponder settings. The current DCP configuration was designed for a multi-crewed aircraft, with less frequent manipulation requirements by aircrew with greater bandwidth available to manipulate settings. As such, the DCP requires a software revision, which will include design, test, and qualification with the objective of reducing heads-down time during flight.
The planned Firm Fixed Price (FFP) sole source contract modification to contract N00421-25-C-0053 Phase two (2) requirement will add the acquisition of four (4) software loader kits, Part Number (P/N) E6715255-0505, and extend the period of performance of the contract to Fiscal Year (FY) 2027.
Due to the proprietary nature of the APX-119 DCP design and limited data rights, NAVAIR anticipates these requirements can only be met by the Original Equipment Manufacturer, RTX. This announcement will be used to determine if other sources are capable of satisfying the agency-s requirements or if, according to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
