In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302‐1(a)(2)(iii)(A), award to any other source would result in unacceptable schedule delay and duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.

NGC‐DS has fully qualified the FMU‐139D/B Fuze System, including the accessory parts to Government standards. The fuze system has gained flight clearance approval for the United States Navy (USN) and United States Air Force (USAF) missions and to support ongoing flighttesting in new weapons under development to be flown by the USN, Marine Corps and USAF aircraft. As the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and integrator of the FMU‐139D/B fuzes and its accessory parts, only NGC‐DS has the knowledge, experience and access to the technical data necessary to fulfill the Government’s needs and meet the schedule requirements. A complete Technical Data Package is planned to be delivered to the Government during late 4th quarter 2026.
