The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) intends to issue a new sole-source contract to Collins Aerospace for proprietary products and services related to range instrumentation systems, including modernization efforts for the Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS) II and P6. The justification is that awarding to any other source would cause substantial, unrecoverable cost duplication for the government. While this is a notice of intent and not a competitive solicitation, firms believing they can fulfill the requirement may submit a written capability statement for consideration. The formal solicitation is anticipated to be posted on the SAM.gov website around January 2026. Interested firms must be registered in SAM and capable of handling Controlled Unclassified Information through the proper certification processes.

NAWCWD intends to award a new sole source contract to Collins Aerospace for continued development and sustainment of several proprietary GPS-related systems, including CRIIS, TCTS II, P6, and AARI-2. The work involves software and hardware development, updates, and the delivery of prototype and production items. The justification for a sole source award is that competition would cause substantial duplication of cost to the Government. While this is a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposals, any firm believing it can fulfill the requirement may submit a written capability statement for consideration. The formal solicitation is anticipated to be posted on or about February 2025.
