MQ-9A Detect and Avoid Systems (DAAS) and DAAS Ground Control Station (GCS) Production Procurements
The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a sole-source delivery order to General Atomics for producing and integrating Detect and Avoid and Ground Control Station kits for the MQ-9A Reaper MUX UAS. The estimated award date for this contract is December 2026. The Government's justification for a non-competitive award is that GA-ASI is the sole designer and manufacturer of the MQ-9 platform. While this is a notice of intent and not a formal solicitation, interested parties may submit a response for the Government's consideration regarding a potential competitive procurement. The primary contractor location is Poway, CA.
