MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Sustaining Engineering and Support (SES) IV Contract Modification to Incorporate Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Technical Services Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs)
NAVAIR at Patuxent River, MD intends to modify an existing Sustaining Engineering and Support contract on a sole-source basis with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. The modification adds highly specialized sustainment support for Royal Australian Air Force-unique MQ-4C Triton UAS, including unique engineering test procedures, network configuration documentation, and engineering and technical reports. The sole-source rationale is that NGSC is the only designer, developer, manufacturer, integrator, and producer of the MQ-4C Triton air vehicles and ground stations and has the requisite design, operation, and maintenance knowledge. This notice is for information only and is not a request for competitive proposals, but responsible sources may submit capability statements for the government’s consideration of whether to compete. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Northrop Grumman’s Vicky Harper-Hall via the provided email or phone.
