View moreThe Naval Sea Systems Command issued this pre-solicitation notice, identifier N0002421R6309, regarding its intent to award a sole source, two-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to Aerovironment, Inc. The procurement supports the Submarine-Launched Unmanned Aerial System (SLUAS) Program and the PMS-425 Program Office through the acquisition of up to 120 Blackwing 10C Unmanned Aerial Vehicles equipped with electro-optic and infrared sensors. This requirement is classified under NAICS 336411 Aircraft Manufacturing and PSC 1550 UNMANNED AIRCRAFT.
These units will be deployed on various Navy submarine platforms during the execution of the Middle Tier Acquisition program, which is estimated for completion in May 2023. The Navy identified Aerovironment, Inc. as the only responsible source capable of providing these specific vehicles within the required delivery window, as the Blackwing 10C has already demonstrated successful integration with existing SLUAS components and subsystems. Tactical Temporary Installations of the system are projected for approval in March 2021 to meet installation requirements through fiscal year 2023.
The anticipated contract ordering period begins in May 2021 and ends in May 2023, with initial deliveries expected to start in August 2021. While this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, the agency will consider capability statements or quotations submitted by the response deadline of March 24, 2021. Sydney Kacek serves as the primary point of contact for this notice out of the Washington Navy Yard.
