FY25_FY26 JA CLS IDIQ Extension_Redacted.pdf

Approved for Public Release 24-MDA-11959 (8 Nov 24)

The Government uses Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funds for the AN/TPY-2 Radar fleet, and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) for the SBX.

The action approved by this J&A will be an IDIQ contract modification to extend the current ordering period an additional two years from October 31, 2024 to October 31, 2026 resulting in an overall CLS ordering period of nine years, and increase the stated maximum value by for a total of . Under the CLS IDIQ, there will be multiple Task Orders issued to support the AN/TPY-2 and SBX CLS requirements. Most orders will utilize a one-year base period and a one-year option period. However, the safety, training and power support requirements for the AN/TPY-2 CLS work will be awarded with a four-month base period and a two-month option period.

3. Description of the Supplies and/or Services Required to Meet the Agency’s Needs (including the estimated value) (FAR 6.303-2(b)(3)).

The O&S provided by Raytheon are critical for supporting a family of X-Band Radars (XBR) comprised of, but not limited to AN/TPY-2 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Forward Based Mode (FBM), and the SBX radar. The programs encompass the following efforts:

AN/TPY-2 Requirements o Radar Operation and Maintenance Support (at multiple sites)

Diagnose Hardware and Software Failures Provide Software and Hardware Maintenance as primary maintainer for all levels of maintenance o Logistics Support

Establishment and maintenance of permanently deployed site support team at Outside the Continental United States (CONUS) locations

Establishment and maintenance of deployable site support team at CONUS locations

Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) Repair and Return Inventory Control and Management Spares Management Logistics Operations o Sustaining Engineering Support for all AN/TPY-2 Radars to facilitate maintenance efforts, which may include but are not limited to trade studies and analysis, hardware obsolescence studies, hardware redesign, technology insertion, and refurbishment efforts.

Engineering Analysis and Studies Sustainment of legacy software Builds Failure Review and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) Mission Assurance/Quality support Obsolescence Management unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Agency’s requirements.”

5. Demonstration of Contractor’s Unique Qualifications or the Nature of the Acquisition Requires use of the Authority Cited (FAR 6.303-2(b)(5)).

Raytheon has been the X-band Radar original product developer for the MDA and the Missile Defense Organization for more than 20 years. A contract was awarded to Raytheon in September 1992 as a result of a full and open competition for the Strategic and Theater Demonstration/Validation of a Ground-Based Radar. In FY 2000, Raytheon was awarded a subcontract under Lockheed Martin contract (DASG60-00-C-0072) for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development of the THAAD AN/TPY-2 Radar. In April 2003, Raytheon was awarded a prime contract (HQ0006-03-C-0047) for the production and further development of the AN/TPY-2 Radar. Under contracts (HQ0006-01-C-0001) and follow-on contract (HQ0147- 09-C-0008) for the Ground-based Midcourse Defense System, Raytheon was awarded subcontracts by the prime contractor (Boeing) for the design and development of the XBR on the SBX vessel.

Five AN/TPY-2 Radars in FBM configuration are permanently deployed to the United States Central Command (USCENTCOM), United States European Command (USEUCOM), and the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) areas of responsibility and provide the combatant commanders with near continuous observation and early warning of the missile threats to the United States and allied interests. All five assets are critical to the Missile Defense System and are operational in current real world events. The radars are actively employed by their respective combatant commanders and sensor manager cells to identify and track threats associated with the escalating tensions resulting from the war in Israel and the continuous monitoring of the Sea of Japan. Additionally, one of the USCENTCOM radars has been identified for an adjustment to location in order to better defend Israel from medium range ballistic missiles.

The contractor needs to diagnose software failures and resolve issues with the radars while they are fielded and operational. Raytheon is the only contractor that has access to all the technical data needed to provide such support as portions of the technical data are proprietary.

Furthermore, Raytheon has the production and quality control processes in place used for manufacture and repair of the radars. The Program Office would face significant challenges in maintaining the qualified processes without the availability of the OEM technical data. Given that the radars are currently in service, lapse in O&S support while the program office replicates the technical data would represent an unacceptable operational risk. To replicate and requalify the Contractor’s software capabilities would require two or more years and resulting in unacceptable delays to O&S of the radars.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition (FAR 6.303-2(b)(6)).

The agency continues to assess opportunities for future competition for O&S support for the family of Missile Defense System X-band Radars and the associated equipment.

The Agency believes it will have the ability to compete at least some of the CLS scope for FY 2026 and beyond.

In accordance with FAR 5.201 Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, agencies must make notices of proposed contract actions available. Within 14 days of award of this contract action, a redacted version will be posted to sam.gov for a minimum of 30 days.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost (FAR 6.303-2(b)(7)).

In accordance with FAR 15.402 and due to thresholds for requiring cost and pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403, the PCO shall ensure all supplies and services ordered under this contract are procured at a fair and reasonable price. As necessary, the contractor will submit formal price proposals with certified cost or pricing data and sufficient information to support the accuracy and reliability of estimates. Pursuant to ensuring prices are fair and reasonable, the PCO will obtain information from sources other than the contract (e.g.) audits, field reports, and forward pricing rate agreement information from the Defense Contract Audit Agency and Defense Contract Management Agency. In turn, the contractor’s proposed technical approach will be reviewed by experienced CLS Technical Evaluators and the cost/prices will be reviewed by experienced price analysts, in conjunction with the PCO and Contract Specialist to allow the PCO to make a fair and reasonable price determination.

8. Description of Market Research Conducted (FAR 6.303-2(b)(8)).

The following techniques were used during the market research effort:

Personal knowledge in procuring products or services of this type. The MDA Sensors Market Research Team for M&S has extensive experience with developing, testing, acquiring, deploying and sustaining MDA radars and radar models. Specifically, they possess over 75+ years of combined experience. Various discussions were held with the Market Research Teams about the capability and interest of industry to meet follow-on requirements, and a focused review was completed for industry responses on a Request for Information (RFI).

Review of Government and/or commercial databases for relevant information. In conjunction with the MDA Small Business Office, a search in Sam.gov was done for all entities with North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code of 541614 and 811210, and Product and Service Code (PSC) of L058 that have performed the work for the Government in the last five years. An additional search was completed for all small business entities using only the NAICS Code of 541330 (No Specified PSC Code).

Publication of a formal RFI. An AN/TPY-2 RFI was published to Sam.gov March 8, 2022 related to O&S Support, Radar Logistics Support, and Sustaining Engineering.

On February 8, the PCO emailed the original companies that responded to the RFI and previous inquiries asking if any other capabilities had changed. An SBX RFI was posted to Sam.gov on March 7, 2024 related to XBR Sustainment, XBR logistics support, and XBR Sustaining Engineering.

Analysis of the responses from industry, as documented in the formal Market research report dated April 25, 2024, determined that a lack of the full Technical Data Package and
