G16-CJA 23-0041_Redacted.pdf

This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document authorizing sole-source procurement under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with The Boeing Company. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is issuing this CJ&A to procure supplies and services in support of the MQ-25 Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) program, with authority to act through April 13, 2026. The CJ&A supplements requirements in CJ&A 21-0119 and covers the ordering period from FY23 through FY26 under BOA N00019-21-G-0006. The estimated total value of orders is redacted in the document.

The procurement covers non-recurring engineering, operational and safety improvements, hardware procurement for the Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages program, software maturation and infrastructure support, software upgrades and license renewals, trade studies and engineering analyses, interoperability and cybersecurity efforts, additional flight tests and logistics support, reliability and maintainability implementations, life cycle program planning, packaging and handling support, and production planning. The document justifies sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), asserting that Boeing is the only source with unique capabilities, complete data, and experienced staff necessary to fulfill Navy requirements. A sources sought waiver was previously approved, and the Contracting Officer will review qualifications of any other contractors expressing interest. The government has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and the MQ-25 program is being developed using a Modular Open Systems Approach to enable future competition at the subsystem level with planned Technical Data Package procurement.
