The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Patuxent River, MD, intends to negotiate and award an Order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-22-G-0006 to General Atomics-Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), Poway, CA, for the production of Detect and Avoid System (DAAS) kits and installation into the “MQ-9A MUX MALE UAS” (Reaper Marine Air Ground Task Force Expeditionary (MUX) Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)). GA-ASI will serve as the prime system integrator and will coordinate with subcontractors to produce and install DAAS Kits (cables, brackets, interface devices, radar, miscellaneous hardware etc.) that meet the Government’s specifications. This Order will include: production of DAAS Kits, integration of DAAS into the MQ-9A “Reaper” MUX MALE UAS Increment II, Ground Control Station (GCS), and other associated training equipment; hardware and support equipment, consumables, materials, spares, and repair parts; programmatic, engineering, logistics, and other technical support; Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), upgrades and modifications to the MQ-9A MUX MALE UAS and associated equipment; obsolescence support; testing, flight demonstration support; cybersecurity support; financial and administrative data. Award is estimated to be by June 2024.
For this proposed contract action, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)and FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." GA-ASI is also the sole developer of DAAS, and as such, GA-ASI has the unique capabilities to fulfill the DAAS orders, as it is extremely familiar with the work that is required to produce, test, upgrade, and support the DAAS integration into the MQ-9A MUX MALE UAS. Additionally, GA-ASI owns the technical data and software that transmits the DAAS signals through the MQ-9A data bus to the MQ-9A MUX MALE GCS.
