This document is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) from the Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for a sole-source contract with L3Harris Technologies, Inc. The contract covers the procurement of P-8A Bomb Rack Units (BRU-75A and BRU-76A), with an estimated production of ten (10) shipsets to support aircraft production for the P-8A warfighting inventory. The contract will include configuration management, reliability and maintainability, failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system support.

The CJ&A authorizes contract actions from 30 September 2028, with additional BRU-75As and BRU-76As potentially procured in FY2027 and FY2028. L3Harris is identified as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of these units, which were developed, integrated, and tested on the P-8A during a previous system development phase. The document justifies the sole-source approach based on L3Harris being the only known source with the necessary technical knowledge and design specifications, with the potential time to develop an alternative source estimated at 5-7 years. The sources sought notification process was conducted in January 2024, with no alternative sources identified.
