The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue an order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-12-G-0006 to the Bell Boeing Joint Program Office on an 'other than full and open' competitive basis to implement the Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation (RNP RNAV) for V-22 Osprey aircraft.  This effort would include the engineering, integration, qualification, airworthiness substantiation, and flight test demonstration necessary to implement the RNP RNAV capability onto the V-22 Osprey. RNP RNAV is a capability required to avoid air space restrictions in civil airspace as it transitions to Performance Based Navigation. This delivery order would include software updates impacting V-22 unique systems, including pilot training, simulators, mission computer, and display. This effort incorporates RNP RNAV into CV-22 and MV-22 Production as well as testing on the CV-22 unique drops. The delivery order would also include base and option year procurement of CV-22 and MV-22 unique systems.

Bell-Boeing is the only company that possesses the unique engineering data, technical skills, establishing tools, support equipment, facilities, and requisite knowledge of the design, fabrication, and production of the V-22 aircraft required to perform these efforts.  For subcontracting opportunities please contact Ralph D'iorio at 610-591-9157 or Ralph.b.d'[email protected] and Matthew Sticksel at 817-280-3103 or [email protected].
