How to bid on MQ-25A FY27 spares for the Department of the Navy

What the Navy is buying

The Naval Air Systems Command plans to negotiate with Boeing for FY27 spare parts and repair equipment for the MQ-25A Stingray unmanned aircraft, using an existing Basic Ordering Agreement. The purchases are planned in phases.

This is a notice of intent to use a sole source, not a request for competitive proposals. The Navy says Boeing is the aircraft’s sole designer, developer, and manufacturer. Vendors can still share information about their interest and capabilities or explore subcontracting with Boeing.

Key date and deadline

The notice was published October 13, 2026. Responses are due October 28, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.

The deadline is for interested parties to identify their interest and capability. It does not turn the notice into a competitive proposal request.

Who this opportunity may suit

This notice may be relevant to firms that can provide MQ-25A spare parts or repair equipment, or that may be able to support Boeing as a subcontractor. The listed category is equipment.

The Navy intends to negotiate with Boeing as the sole source, so firms should not treat this as an open competition for the prime contract.

How to access the opportunity

Click “View original source” on the portal. If the first click opens the portal homepage, click it again to go to the bid. A free account may be needed to view documents, though many bids do not require one.

How to prepare a useful response

If you respond, state clearly what parts, repair equipment, or related capabilities your firm can provide, and explain how they relate to the MQ-25A requirement. Keep claims specific and support them with relevant experience or technical information.

If you are interested in subcontracting, contact Boeing through its supplier information page. Before responding, check the notice and any available documents for the requested submission method and any instructions.
