This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the United States Air Force. The contract is for a new non-commercial, one-year repair contract for 17ea Transmitters in the AN/TSQ-T10 Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) Radar Weapon Systems, to be awarded to Applied Systems Engineering, Inc. (ASE) in Fort Worth, TX. The estimated contract value falls between $750K and $15M, with an anticipated award date of 30 May 2025 and performance period through 31 Aug 2026.

The contract specifically covers repair services for three types of transmitters (T1B, T1D, and TWC) with a total quantity of 17 units. The sole source justification is based on ASE's proprietary filament shutdown module technologies, which are the primary source of failure mitigation in magnetron transmitters. The Air Force determined that no other source can provide these specialized repair services without substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays. The contract will use Firm Fixed Price (FFP) pricing, with the estimate based on prior repair services history and including an annual inflation rate of five percent.
