## Description

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Patuxent River, MD intends to negotiate and award a sole-source, Cost Plus-Fixed Fee (CPFF) type contract with Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC), Melbourne, Florida to perform non-recurring efforts necessary for the design, software development, testing, and evaluation of the E-2D Mission Computer and Displays (MCD) software required to provide information to architect and evaluate low latency data routing using existing datalinks.

The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, ‘Only One Responsible Source’, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
