This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity form for a non-competitive Performance Based, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee task order issued by the Department of the Navy's Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic. The task order supports the Joint Threat Warning System (JTWS) Air Systems for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), involving engineering, production, and sustainment services for a 5-month period with a total estimated Level of Effort of 18,955 hours.

The task order is specifically for continuing development, production, and sustainment of JTWS Program Record Variants within the Integrated Sensor Systems and Warfighter Integration Program for multiple military agencies, including the National Security Agency (NSA). The justification emphasizes critical mission requirements, noting that transitioning to a different contractor would jeopardize forward-deployed service members' lives by potentially disrupting ongoing system hardware and software development and repairs. The document indicates the task order was competitively issued under a Cyber Mission Engineering multiple award contract (N6523619-D-4809) and is a logical follow-on to a previous order, with a projected award timeframe of October 1, 2025.
