Evaluation
This is for informational purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal. Responses will be used as a market research tool to determine if any firm other than Raytheon can provide the described services. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only Raytheon, citing 10 U.S.C. 2304(C)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, due to Raytheon being the sole designer, developer, and integrator, possessing proprietary technical data, and to avoid significant duplication of costs.
Additional Notes
This announcement does not constitute a solicitation or commitment by the Government. No funds are available for response preparation. A separate Pre-solicitation Notice/Synopsis will be posted with contact information for small business subcontract opportunities.
