# Navy Narrows UJTS Competition to One Team

Sierra Nevada Corp. (SNC), which led one of the two remaining teams, has withdrawn from the U.S. Navy’s Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS) competition. Textron Aviation and Leonardo are now the sole bidding team identified in the report. The Navy intends UJTS to replace the T-45 Goshawk by early 2027; the report does not provide a contract value, award date, or solicitation details.

- The reduced field may create subcontracting and supplier opportunities for businesses supporting Textron Aviation and Leonardo’s team, while leaving one identified bidder in the competition.
- Companies that provide aircraft, training-system, or related support capabilities can assess their fit as potential suppliers to the remaining team; the signal does not identify specific requirements or open solicitations.
