Quick Summary
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Precision Strike Weapons Program Office (PMA-201), has awarded a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Delivery Order (N0001925F2557) to Rockwell Collins, INC (operating as Collins Aerospace). This sole-source award, made on September 30, 2025, is for the repair and reconfiguration of Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW)/Harpoon Block II+ (HII+) TacNet 1.0 Series Weapon Datalink radios for the U.S. Navy.
Scope of Work
The delivery order covers the repair, inspection, modification, and return to ready-for-issue condition for TacNet radio items. It also includes program and obsolescence management, other program-related support, and proposing corrective actions for Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).
Contract & Timeline

- Awarded To: Rockwell Collins, INC (Collins Aerospace).
- Award Date: September 30, 2025.
- Authorization Expiration: September 30, 2029 (for multiple orders under BOA).

Rationale for Sole Source
This award was made on a sole-source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR Subpart 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) and 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), citing only one responsible source. Collins Aerospace is the sole designer, developer, and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the TacNet radios. The government lacks the necessary technical data or rights to competitively award this requirement, and Collins Aerospace is unwilling to sell the technical data package. Developing a new technical data package and qualifying a new source is estimated to take four to six years, which would result in unacceptable schedule delays for the U.S. Navy.
Efforts to Solicit Offers
NAVAIR posted a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought on January 6, 2025, with one response received. A special notice indicating the intent to award a sole-source contract was posted on SAM.gov on January 22, 2025, which received no responses.
Future Competition
NAVAIR currently has no plans to compete future contracts for these supplies and services but will assess feasibility if another potential source emerges.
