Stores Management Processor (SMP) Obsolescence Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Mitigation Procurement

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice to gather market information on vendors capable of designing, qualifying, and supplying alternate, non‑obsolescent electronic components for the AYK‑22 Stores Management Processor (SMP) used on F/A‑18 and EA‑18G aircraft. The Navy seeks capability statements that demonstrate experience with DMSMS mitigation, access to technical data, and quality assurance processes. No funds are available for proposal preparation, and the effort is purely for market research; a future formal solicitation may follow. • Scope: Design and qualification of alternate parts to replace obsolete SMP components; provide commercial price lists, lead‑times, and stock levels. • Deliverable: One‑page capability statement (bullet format) covering company details, aerospace electronic‑components experience, technical data access, QA certifications, and other relevant capabilities. • Submission: Email the capability statement to Contract Specialist Cassaundra Somerville ([email protected]) by 5:00 PM EST, 28 Oct 2026.
