The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Program Manager Air (PMA)-275, intends to award a sole-source Delivery Order to Honeywell International Inc. under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001923G0004 for the procurement of Environmental Control System (ECS) components in support of V-22 Block B to Block C Mission Computer Obsolescence Initiative (MCOI) upgrades. These components consist of: ECS Controller, National Stock Number (NSN) 4120-01-583-4350; Environmental Control Unit, NSN 1680-01-583-4344; Cockpit Flow Control Valve, NSN 1680-01-584-2936; Nosebay Avionics Cooling Supply Fan Motor, NSN 1680-01-482-7098; and Nosebay Fan Bracket, NSN 5340-01-545-5814. The required ECS components are necessary to support the integration, sustainment, and fielding of the Block B to Block C MCOI upgrade effort for the V-22 fleet.

Honeywell International, Inc. is the only source that has the knowledge, experience, technical expertise, and source data to provide these parts to meet the Government’s need. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, responsible sources that believe they can satisfy the requirement may submit capability information demonstrating their ability to provide ECS components fully compatible with the V-22 configuration and required delivery schedule. Submitted information must address access to applicable technical data; manufacturing, quality-assurance, and configuration-management capability; and the ability to meet required delivery and support requirements. | Pre-Solicitation | 336413 | No Set-Aside | 10/13/2026 | 10/27/2026 | - | |
