The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a sole-source contract to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics for the production and delivery of Block 1 MDCX hardware and software to support the MQ-25 test program. The work will support the program through testing phases and aircraft carrier deployments. The Government is soliciting and negotiating with only one source under specific regulatory authority, stating that Lockheed Martin is the sole entity with the unique capability to fulfill these requirements. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties may identify their interest and capability for consideration. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities are encouraged to contact Lockheed Martin directly.
