Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source, indefinite quantity requirements contract for APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar System Support for the F/A-18 E-F Super Hornet and EA-18 G Growler aircraft. This document authorizes an exception to fair opportunity, as it is not a solicitation for proposals.
Purpose & Justification
This J&A justifies the use of other than full and open competition, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole-source procurement when only one responsible source exists. The rationale is based on the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) being the only authorized source due to specialized parts, proprietary data rights, and unique engineering skills required for the APG-79 AESA Radar System.
Scope of Work
The contract covers the acquisition of:
- Spares
- Repair, overhaul, and modification services
- Repair summary data analysis for logistic and supply change risk items
- Failure Repair Data (FRD) Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs)
Contract Details
- Type: Indefinite quantity, requirements contract
- Duration: Five (5) year ordering period, with no option periods
- Estimated Value: Redacted for Repair, Spares, and FRD CDRLs
- Place of Performance: El Segundo, CA
Eligibility / Set-Aside
- Not applicable, as this is a sole-source justification, not a competitive solicitation.
Response & Evaluation
This document is a justification for sole-source procurement and is not a solicitation for proposals. Market research did not identify any alternate sources or interested parties capable of meeting the requirements. NAVSUP WSS currently has no plans to compete future contracts unless a new potential source emerges.
