EMALS/AAG Multi-Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) Kit Procurement (RFP Kittle)

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is issuing a sole‑source award to General Atomics for the production, testing, and integration of Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) engineering change kits for the U.S. Navy’s new CVN‑78 and CVN‑79 carriers. This effort includes manufacturing of ship‑set components, kit delivery, and associated engineering support under an existing basic ordering agreement. The solicitation is not a competitive RFP; only General Atomics possesses the required technical data and licensing rights. Subcontracting opportunities are available for small businesses via the Small Business Liaison. • Scope covers design, fabrication, testing, and integration of EMALS and AAG components for two future carriers. • Work will be performed under an existing BOA (N00019-26‑G‑1008) with delivery of complete kits to the shipyard. • Sole‑source award justified by unique technical expertise and lack of transferable data; subcontractors may be engaged for ancillary work.
