The U.S. Navy intends to award a sole-source, one-year contract to The Boeing Company for one spare aircraft clip (NSN 1R-9999-LLIRLA026-QF) for the FA-18, as Boeing is the original equipment manufacturer and the only known source with the necessary data. Delivery is FOB origin, and the government does not own the technical data needed to purchase from other sources. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal for consideration, but the procurement will not be delayed for source approval requests. The solicitation is expected to be issued around May 14, 2026, with responses due by June 12, 2026, and an anticipated award date of June 29, 2026. No budget amount is specified, and the location for performance is not stated.

This is a U.S. Navy spares requirement with a one-year warranty on delivered supplies. The contract includes standard federal clauses for quality, payment, and compliance with trade agreements. Performance location is not specified, and no budget amount is provided. No submission or non-bid timelines are mentioned. The opportunity involves standard government procurement terms for noncomplex supply items.
