CJA V22 BOA Raytheon_Redacted.pdf

CJ&A 21-0334

d) Software and hardware requirements analysis, laboratory requirements and design, laboratory development, laboratory software and hardware support and installation, design, prototyping, development, and integration of enhancements to the aircraft avionics architecture to support a more modular, rapid and cost effective capability insertion and to provide a more resilient, hardened architecture from a cybersecurity perspective.

The planned funding 2 for the V-22 Program. The total estimated value of the action under this CJ&A is $229.85M through FY26 and is anticipated to be funded by the fiscal years and appropriations as set forth in the table below.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

Raytheon is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the Avionics Functional V-22 Trainer (AFVT), Trainer Fault Insertion System (TFIS), Portable AFVT (PAFVT), and Exportable AFVT (EAFVT) and original software developer for the V-22 Display Engine (VDE)/embedded VDE (eVDE) software, which is used in the V-22 test lab to emulate all the display surfaces on the aircraft when testing the Functional Requirements Document (FRD) and JVX Application System Software (JASS) functionality, and which has been productionized to run on the aircraft displays and MV, CMV, CV, and Japanese V-22 Mission Planning System software. Since privatization of the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) Indianapolis in January 1997, Raytheon has been contracted, initially via a competitive award, then through sole source follow-on contracts, to provide avionics systems and software engineering products and services support for the V-22 program. Raytheon is the only known responsible source possessing the requisite knowledge, technical expertise, special skills, technical data, facilities, and experience to complete installation, integration, maintenance, and configuration control on the highly specialized software and hardware in the V-22 Avionics Integration Laboratory (VAIL), V-22 Electronic System Test Laboratory (VESTL), Mobile Navigation (NAV) Bus, and Mission Systems Integration (MSI) Laboratories. In addition, Raytheon is the only source qualified to successfully complete the tasking described in Paragraph 3. The Government has pursued the procurement of a technical data rights license necessary for competition in support of engineering change proposals, obsolescence issues, non-recurring engineering, integrated logistics support, and production support with Raytheon. To date, Raytheon has not been willing to provide a V-22 data rights license to the Government that would enable a competitive acquisition of these efforts. Considering the absence of data required for competition and

-22, Raytheon is the only responsible source capable of ted timeframe.

Award of any of the efforts listed above to any source other than Raytheon would result in an unacceptable delay to fielding the requirement. Required infrastructure for software development and testing would drive costly delays into the program, which would result in an inability to meet V-22 fleet requirements. In order to meet the fleet need dates of Feb 2023 and November 2023 for the next software releases, planning and development must begin by January 2022. Approximately 18-24 months would be required to conduct a competition to select a new source, and a new source would require up to 24 months to complete relocation/set-up, training, testing, verification, and certification of the classified software test labs necessary to perform the tasks required by this effort. This estimate was derived via a combination of historical data on competitive acquisitions (most recent was the V-22 Helmet Mounted Display/Degraded Visual Environment (HMD/DVE)) and engineering judgement on relocation of laboratories. Therefore, a new source other than Raytheon would require a total of two (2) years to fulfill the V-22 requirements covered under this BOA.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable.

For the reasons set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, a market survey was not performed. A request for a waiver of DFARS PGI 206.302-1 Request for Information/Sources Sought requirement was approved on 16 June 2021. In accordance with FAR 5.201, orders will be individually synopsized on the System for Award Management (SAM) website for informational and subcontracting opportunities. Any responses received by the Contracting Officer prior to the award of each order will be reviewed accordingly and coordinated with Raytheon and the

NAVAIR Office of Small Business Programs to maximize competition for small business subcontractor opportunities.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this CJ&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

As detailed above in paragraph 5, Raytheon is currently the only source capable of meeting the Government requirement. However, the V-22 program is pursing efforts to create a more modular and open system architecture to support future competition in developing required

If another potential source emerges, NAVAIR will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.

Because this effort is a follow-on for supplies and services previously awarded on a non-competitive basis, in accordance with DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(i), the prior CJ&A was provided to the approval authority to review. Approval of this CJ&A signifies that the approval authority made the determination required by DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(ii).
