The Navy intends to award a sole source contract to Dallas Avionics Inc. for 16 units of a microphone for the V22 aircraft, as the government does not own the data rights and the firm is the original equipment manufacturer. Other sources may express interest, but they must submit a Source Approval Request, and the procurement will not be delayed for SAR approval. The contract will have a one-year duration, with an anticipated award date of October 2026. The government expects to solicit and negotiate with only this responsible source.
