The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division intends to award a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement for repair, maintenance, engineering, and logistics support of Common Chassis assemblies for unmanned aircraft and maritime patrol systems. This is a sole-source requirement with Sierra Nevada Corporation due to a lack of technical data and prohibitive re-engineering costs. The work supports Persistent Maritime Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft, and Submarine Systems programs. No specific budget amount or performance location is mentioned in the description. Interested parties may submit capability statements for consideration by the agency.
