Quick Summary
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), on behalf of the V-22 Joint Program Office, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify industry capabilities for the CV-22 Joint Tactical Terminal - Next Generation (JTT-NG) program. This effort involves the design, fabrication, and delivery of prototype and Validation/Verification (Val/Ver) A-kits, and their integration with Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) B-kits for installation and testing on the CV-22 Osprey aircraft. Responses are due by April 7, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This Sources Sought aims to identify qualified parties capable of performing the non-recurring engineering (NRE) necessary to integrate the JTT-NG system onto the CV-22. The JTT-NG is intended to replace the obsolescent legacy Integrated Broadcast System, enhancing mission capabilities with broader tactical intelligence and Indication and Warning data. Key deliverables include prototype A-kits, final Interface Control Documents, software/hardware design documents, an Installation Drawing Package, and support for Systems Engineering Technical Reviews. The contractor will integrate GFE B-kits (Base Transceiver Unit, Exciter Power Amplifier, BXU Mounting Tray) and perform functional testing.
Key Requirements & Eligibility
The applicable NAICS code is 336413 (Aircraft Manufacturing) with a 1,250-employee small business size standard. The Product Service Code is 1680. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond. Mandatory eligibility criteria include:
- Possessing personnel with expertise in Ada coding to update Joint Services Vertical Lift Aircraft Experimental Avionics System Software (JASS).
- Already having access to the CV-22 aircraft configuration model (Computer Visualization Assembly System or CATIA model), which is proprietary to Bell Boeing Joint Project Office, to determine installation locations and conduct analysis.
- Ability to manage CLASSIFIED/SECRET/COMSEC CONTROL ITEMs and sign a DD254.
- Ability to meet CMMC Level 2 C3PAO requirements.
Response Details
Interested parties must first submit a Letter of Interest via email to Karamie Platt to receive Attachment (1) JTT-NG ICD. The full, UNCLASSIFIED or CUI response submission, limited to 10 pages, is due electronically to Karamie Platt (karamie.l.platt.civ@us.navy.mil) by 4:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time on April 7, 2026. Responses should detail general capabilities, business size, CAGE code, UEI, a full capability summary, information on current products/services, legal authority for technical manuals/JASS data rights, and classified information management.
Additional Information
This is a market research effort and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). The government will not pay for response preparation. Not responding does not preclude future participation. The V-22 Systems Engineering Plan and Configuration Management Plan will be provided with any future RFP.
