The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award a Firm-Fixed Price order under existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0001921G0014 to General Atomics, San Diego, CA, for repair parts, such as test benches and tools, and technical publications to perform repairs on the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) of the Ford Class of Carriers. The delivery date anticipated is 01 August 2025, inclusive of options.

This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. As the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the EMALS system, GA is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical expertise to provide the required supplies and services. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
