Quick Summary
The Naval Air Systems Command, PMA-265, is conducting a Sources Sought for the Stores Management Processor (SMP) Obsolescence Redesign Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE). The Government intends to award a sole-source order to The Boeing Company for this effort, but is seeking capability statements from other interested parties.

Scope of Work
This effort addresses the obsolescence of key components within the AYK-22 Stores Management Processor (SMP), which interfaces between the aircraft mission computer and weapons/external stores. The scope includes designing and qualifying alternate parts to replace these obsolete components.
