Quick Summary
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), under the Department of the Navy, has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to I2K Defense, LLC for inflatable military decoys. This is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation.
Purpose
NRL's Signature Technology Office (Code 5009) intends to procure inflatable military decoys from I2K Defense, LLC. This action is justified by NRL's prior investment in testing I2K's materials and their integration into a broader system currently under development by NRL. Awarding to any other vendor would result in unacceptable delays and duplication of costs.
