    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), intends to negotiate and award a cost reimbursement delivery order to The Boeing Company for the upgrade of the F/A-18 E/F Electronic Warfare suite, known as Advanced Electronic Warfare (ADVEW). This upgrade aims to integrate two existing systems, the ALR-67 Radar Warning Receiver and the ALQ-214 Self-Protect Jammer, into a single automated system that enhances both offensive and defensive capabilities for the F/A-18E/F aircraft. The procurement will be conducted on a sole-source basis due to the unique technical expertise and design knowledge that TBC possesses, which is critical for timely platform integration without incurring substantial duplication of costs. Interested parties seeking subcontracting opportunities should reach out to Jack Kafoury at Boeing via email, as this is not a request for proposal.
