Scope of Work

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (leading to a FIRM FIXED PRICE contract)
  • Value: Over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000
  • Sole Source: NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION
  • Published: February 6, 2026
  • Place of Performance: Richmond, VA 23237, United States

Justification & Eligibility

This acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing availability from only one or a limited number of sources. Market research, including a Sources Sought notice posted on SAM.gov on May 13, 2025, confirmed that only one unapproved source expressed interest, and the OEM is unwilling to sell data rights, making reverse engineering cost-prohibitive. A synopsis was previously posted on SAM.gov on March 18, 2025.

Additional Notes

The anticipated cost has been determined to be fair and reasonable. The justification has been approved by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate.
