Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force has awarded a sole-source, Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to Northrop Grumman (Amherst Systems, Inc.) for Repair Services for the JTE Program. This award, effective April 22, 2026, covers the repair of 'C'-type circuit cards for the JTE ANTSQ/T10 Weapon System.

Scope of Work

The contract requires the inspection, Test, Teardown, and Evaluation (TT&E), and subsequent repair of specific circuit card assemblies (NSN: 5998-01-598-5644 and NSN: 5998-01-598-5645). Repaired items must be restored to a serviceable, like-new condition, meeting original specifications and performance requirements of a new item. This includes adherence to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) control programs and submission of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) for any subcomponent changes. The contract also mandates a one-year warranty on repaired assets.

Contract & Timeline

  • Awardee: Northrop Grumman (Amherst Systems, Inc. - CAGE 1L4J7)
  • Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)
  • Period of Performance: One year, from April 22, 2026, through April 21, 2027.
  • Award Date: April 22, 2026
  • Set-Aside: Not a small business set-aside (Sole Source)
  • Justification: Awarded under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source) due to Amherst Systems, Inc.'s unique knowledge, proprietary technical data, and capabilities. The government attempted to acquire data rights but was unsuccessful, and reverse engineering was deemed too costly and time-consuming.

Key Requirements & Deliverables

Contract requirements include compliance with stringent packaging standards (MIL-STD-2073-1, MIL-STD-129, ISPM 15), Item Unique Identification (IUID) marking per MIL-STD-130, and establishment of a Counterfeit Prevention Plan (CPP). Contractors must also utilize the Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force (CAV AF) system for daily reporting of Government-owned assets and submit various data deliverables (CAVAF, RIIR, CPP, ECP).

Additional Notes

The government intends to continue pursuing data rights to enable future competition for these repair services.
