Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) for the acquisition of KA-BAND SOLID STATE spares (NSN 7GH 5999 016007485, P/N H416171-3). This J&A identifies RAYTHEON COMPANY (CAGE: 7Y193) as the sole qualified source for these specialized items, citing the government's lack of data rights and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering. The estimated cost for 32 units is $1,564,224.00, with an expected final delivery by March 1, 2025.

Purpose & Rationale

This justification, based on 10 USC 3204(A)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, supports the acquisition of critical KA-BAND SOLID STATE components. The rationale for sole-sourcing to Raytheon Company is that they are the actual manufacturer and the only known qualified source for repair and manufacturing. The government does not possess the necessary data or rights to allow other sources to produce or repair these parts, and it has been deemed uneconomical to acquire such data or reverse engineer the item. These parts are essential for meeting performance and compatibility requirements within a higher assembly.
