JA SPE7MX25R0046 FOIA_redacted_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for a single or limited number of responsible sources acquisition.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is acquiring antennas for CH-47 Chinook helicopters under solicitation SPE7MX25R0046. The acquisition is structured as a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with a 5-year base period and no option periods. The estimated annual demand is 131 units, with estimated total contract value redacted. The Government has restricted this acquisition to three approved sources: Raytheon Company (CAGE 00724, part number 01-01372-002), Raytheon (CAGE 96214, part number 4987588-1), and Rodelco Electronics Corporation (CAGE 59926, part number 01-01372-002). The justification is based on AMC 1, indicating the item is suitable for competitive acquisition in the future.

The Government determined that these sources are the only known suppliers capable of furnishing form, fit, and functionally interchangeable parts currently approved by the design control activity. Market research efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on March 18, 2025 (with no responses), and a market survey emailed to Raytheon and Rodelco on the same date. Raytheon indicated via their Pre-Award Program Manager that this would be a "no bid" due to AMC code 1 designation. Rodelco responded with detailed capability information and expressed interest in a long-term contract. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. The acquisition was synopsized on April 8, 2025 for 15 days. A prior justification from contract SPE7MX20D0100 is attached. The Contracting Officer certified this justification on April 14, 2025, and the Competition Advocate approved it for a contract value exceeding $750,000 up to $15,000,000.
