On October 9, 2025, the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, awarded Raytheon Company a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $309,594.14 for the supply of a circuit card assembly (National Stock Number 5998-01-457-0694, Part Number 3147492-805) for the F-16 weapon system. This non-competitive procurement was pursued under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which permits acquisition from a single source when supplies are available from limited sources and no alternative supplies will satisfy agency requirements. The contract was not set aside for small businesses and encompasses delivery to Foreign Military Sales customers Taiwan and Bulgaria, with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2028.
The government's market research determined that reverse engineering the component or acquiring associated data rights would be uneconomical, limiting competitive alternatives and supporting the single-source award to Raytheon. As a major aerospace and defense contractor headquartered in McKinney, Texas, Raytheon has extensive experience delivering specialized electronic components and circuit card assemblies for military platforms including the F-16. The contract is funded by the U.S. Air Force through its Ogden Air Logistics Complex, with performance executed at Raytheon's facility in McKinney, Texas.
