This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential procurement sources for the capability and experience to produce and deliver four (4) additional E-2D Advanced Hawkeye (AHE) aircraft in support of U.S. Navy fleet requirements.
This effort includes:
- The manufacture and delivery of four (4) fully mission-capable E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft;
- Integration of all required mission systems, sensors, and communications equipment;
- Performing all required airworthiness testing and certification activities;
- Providing logistics, spares provisioning, and sustainment support;
- Maintaining configuration and data management in accordance with applicable Navy standards;
- Providing program management, reporting, and contract support activities.
- Other activities to support production of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye
The Government does not possess the production level technical data package for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. If you believe you are capable of meeting this capability, demonstrate that your company currently possesses or has authorized access to the necessary technical data, or has a viable plan to obtain, generate, or otherwise secure the necessary technical data, and that it will be maintained throughout the duration of the effort being solicited. You may also highlight unique data generation techniques used by your company, or areas where modifications can be performed, or the capability can be provided, without technical data provided by the Government or OEM. For the FY26 through FY30 production contract, interested businesses shall demonstrate the capability to meet the Government’s required timeline. You may also submit information that demonstrates how you could potentially meet this requirement for future production opportunities.
The E-2D program office plans to utilize these services and supplies to support E-2 aircraft from FY26 through FY30. The Government will provide APN-1 funding where required to support these efforts. Additionally, the vendor will complete all projects, engineering and logistics services required under this program to support redesign, non-recurring engineering, and production efforts. Additionally, the vendors will provide technical assistance, associated logistics support, systems integration, testing, program management, and configuration management services. Interested vendors must meet pre- qualification requirements in order to be eligible for consideration. This is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP). Firms that can meet the USN’s requirement in the timelines identified above are encouraged to identify themselves. Vendors interested in responding to the RFI shall provide a one to two page overview statement addressing the following: 1) Brief statement of interest/capabilities; 2) Any other information at vendor discretion such as catalogs, drawings/illustrations, technical manuals, training description/material, pricing, testing documentation, brochures and/or any other documentation that describes the capabilities, interfaces and specifications; 3) Respondents should identify any Government customer who has procured these services that meet the requirements and provide customer point of contact, including a telephone number, e-mail address or web site. Responses may be submitted electronically to the email address provided below. Responses are requested by 25 June 2025. Earliest possible response is encouraged. Responses will be reviewed and additional information may be requested from individual vendors if desired by the Government.
This RFI does not constitute a commitment from the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award or awards, or be responsible for any monies expended by any interested party in support of the effort described above. The Government reserves the right to review and use the data submitted at its own discretion. Upon request, the Government will protect proprietary information from unwanted disclosure. Any such requests shall be submitted with the statement of capabilities. Email responses to Nathan Blankenship at nathan.s.blankenship2.civ@us.navy.mil.
