Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WSS) has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source requirements contract to provide repair, spares, overhaul, and modification services for the APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar System on the F/A-18 E-F Super Hornet and EA-18 G Growler aircraft. This document justifies the use of other than full and open competition, citing the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as the only responsible source.
Purpose & Justification
This J&A, issued under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, establishes the rationale for a sole-source procurement. Market research did not identify any alternate sources or interested parties capable of meeting the specialized requirements due to proprietary data rights, unique engineering skills, and the need for authorized parts.
Scope of Work
The contract will cover:
- Acquisition of spares, repair, overhaul, and modification services for the APG-79 AESA Radar System.
- Repair summary data analysis for logistic and supply chain risk items.
- Delivery of Failure Repair Data (FRD) Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs). These services are critical for the F/A-18 E-F Super Hornet and EA-18 G Growler aircraft.
