This document summarizes a sole source justification and approval for a federal contract opportunity. The Air Force Nuclear Weapon Center at Hill AFB, UT seeks to award a sole source contract to Northrop Grumman to provide engineering services in support of the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile weapon system. The services will directly and indirectly support nuclear surety certification of MMIII system software and hardware through activities such as Nuclear Safety Cross Check Analysis and Nuclear Safety Analysis and Technical Evaluation. These efforts are intended to ensure the operational capabilities, nuclear surety, and supportability of the MMIII weapon system are maintained through 2039 as a critical part of the United States' strategic nuclear triad.
