Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD awarded a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract N0001926C0111 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) for Full Rate Production (FRP) requirements. 

The purpose of this procurement is a follow-on FRP effort for Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) Systems Enhancement (ASE) B-Kits and Low Band Dedicated Receivers (LBDRs). B-Kit FRP is in support of modifications to the Weapon Replaceable Assembly (WRA)-7 processor unit and WRA-8 Digital Measurement Receiver (DMR). LBDR FRP is in support of WRA-8 modifications. WRA-7 and WRA-8 are subsystems of the EA-18G AN/ALQ-218 Electronic Warfare Support Measures (ESM). No retrofit or Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) scope will be captured under this contract vehicle. 

This contract was awarded on a sole-source basis under statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” As the incumbent contractor and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the AN/ALQ-218 ASE B-Kits and LBDRs, only NGSC has the manufacturing knowledge, experience, and technical data required to fulfill this requirement within the time required to maintain program schedule.

This effort is covered under the Justification and Approval (J&A) number 26-0064, dated 18-DEC-2025.
