What the notice says
This Is a Sources Sought Announcement Only. This Sources Sought Notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e), and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 206.302-1(d) and PGI 206.302-1. Introduction The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is seeking eligible business firms who can develop and implement Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) that are required to maintain and sustain system availability objectives on the Ford Class Carriers. This contract will support two EMALS ECP… (show all)
s that have already been fielded via Interim Launch and Recovery Change (ILRC) on CVN 78. The contract will formally document and baseline the two ECP�s under the EMALS configuration. The contract will facilitate needed Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE), procedure validation/verification and software / hardware testing associated with the two ECPs. The planned contract award date is 27 May 2026 with performance through 30 December 2029, to include options. ECP-I-EMALS-0059 EMALS Catapult Status Dashboard (CSD) will baseline the Catapult Status Dashboard Laptop (Government Furnished Property) and the Laptop�s Government developed CSD Software (Government Furnished Information). ECP-I-EMALS-0060 EMALS Software (SW) Maintenance Laptop will baseline the SW Maintenance Laptop Kit (GFP Laptop and supporting interface cables & connectors) as EMALS �Support Equipment�. ECP-0060 will also expand the number of already fielded Software Maintenance Laptop installation and test procedures by including more government and contractor developed procedures. The contractor will be required to validate these procedures, document the procedures and incorporate / publish the procedures in the EMALS Integrated Electronic Technical Manual (IETM). Background ECP-I-EMALS-0059 EMALS Catapult Status Dashboard (CSD) was developed to provide the EMALS Maintenance Workstation (MWS) operators with increased operational awareness of EMALS equipment status and system readiness during flight operations and maintenance. The Dashboard provides an easy-to-read User Interface that alerts the MWS operator of legitimate failures, which were previously going unnoticed because of the magnitude of faults displayed by MWS. ECP-I-EMALS-0060 EMALS SW Maintenance Laptop was developed to enable ship force personnel to have the capability to perform O-Level software / firmware maintenance tasks. The SW Maintenance Laptop, supporting cables and connectors� kit and SW Maintenance Laptop Procedures provide Ford Class Sailors with the ability to perform software/firmware updates and troubleshooting while underway, without having to back ashore for technical support.

Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
