J&A_12_22665 Amendment 01

Amendment 01 to Justification and Approval J&A_12_22665 For URT-140 Radio Beacon Sets in support of F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft.

1. Justification and Approval (J&A) J&A_12_22665 was approved by AIR 2.4 on 12 July 2012 for the procurement of 285 AN/URT-140 Radio Beacon from Elbit Systems SAR & Data Links- Elisra LTD (formerly Tadiran Spectralink LTD).

2. The purpose of this amendment is to procure an additional 100 AN/URT-140 radios to support the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP). After submission of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to Elbit Systems SAR & Data Link- Elisra LTD for the procurement of AN/URT-140 radios, Naval Air Systems (NAVAIR) Command was given notice of Last Buy Opportunity. This notice was provided to NAVSUP who in turn requested 100 AN/URT-140 radios be added to the NAVAIR RFP in order to maintain the NAVSUP shelf stock and support fleet needs. Per the contractor all orders must be placed no later than 30 September 2013.

3. This J&A amendment is requested in accordance with the Supply Chain Materiel Management Regulation C3.6.2.4.8, which states: “based on estimated life-of-systems requirements, the DoD Components may make a onetime procurement of enough material to last until the end items being supported are no longer in use. Life-of-type (LOT) buys shall include sufficient material to be provided as Government-Furnished Material for repair and for piecework applications in the procurement of additional systems, equipment, spare assemblies, and subassemblies…” (DoD 4140.1-R, May 23, 2003).

4. This supplementary requirement of 100 additional AN/URT-140 radio beacon sets for NAVSUP will be funded with the following appropriations:

Total

547K

5. All other general rational contained in the justification and approval still applies. The analysis was updated to reflect the additional requirement of 100 AN/URT-140 radio beacon sets. A cost avoidance of $160K still exists.
