This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for a sole-source, five-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

The Department of Homeland Security's United States Coast Guard (USCG) Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Cyber and Intelligence Service Center (C5ISC) Contracting and Procurement Office (CG-914) seeks to procure fully functioning Maritime Communication Controllers (MCC) to support Maritime Security Cutter, Large (WMSL) vessels. The sole contractor is Lockheed Martin Corporation (199 Borton Landing Rd., Moorestown, NJ 08057). The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) IDIQ with task orders spanning five ordering periods from 12/31/2025 through 12/30/2030. The procurement includes replacement of legacy Radio Frequency Distribution System (RFDS) units on WMSL platforms 1-9 and installation of new MCC systems on future vessels. The estimated contract ceiling is redacted. Ordering Period 1 (12/31/2025-12/30/2026) covers one system; Ordering Periods 2-5 cover two systems annually, with total anticipated procurements of nine systems. Year of funding is Fiscal Year 2026, and funding derives from Operations and Maintenance Support funds. The solicitation number is TBD.

The justification establishes that Lockheed Martin is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive proprietary rights and is the only authorized distributor of the existing MCC system in the United States. A Sources Sought Notice (SSN 70Z044-26-MCC-1-9) posted on SAM.gov on 02/26/2025 resulted in no responses. The document certifies that anticipated pricing will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through comparison with historical government prices and an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), with certified cost and pricing data required from the contractor.
