BAE CJA Redacted.pdf

This document is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) authorizing sole-source procurement from BAE Systems Inc. under the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) V-22 Program Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0001926G0001. The authority to issue orders expires December 30, 2030. The CJ&A authorizes non-recurring engineering, reliability and sustainability improvements, test, repair, modification, integration, logistics support, obsolescence management, program management, and procurement of BAE components and software for Avionics and Flight Controls Weapon Replaceable Assemblies/Line Replaceable Units on V-22 aircraft. Authorized work includes integrated logistics support, design and manufacture of retrofit kits, technical data and documentation, training parts, change kits for fleet spares, engineering studies and investigations, component design and testing, recurring data deliverable reports, program management reports, firmware/software updates, and cybersecurity implementation planning. The estimated total value of orders under this CJ&A from FY26-FY30 is redacted, funded across appropriations APN5, APN6, BP11, and BP16.

The justification for sole-source procurement cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), establishing that only BAE Systems is a responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements without substantial cost duplication. The rationale emphasizes that BAE is the sole developer, designer, manufacturer, and producer of V-22 FCS components (FCC, CIU, FTIP) since initial deliveries in 1998, with exclusive technical data and proprietary software developed using private funding. The Government has invested over $214 million in design and integration of these BAE components but lacks sufficient technical data rights to compete the effort elsewhere. Market research conducted September 25, 2025, through a SAM website sources-sought notice yielded no industry responses. The Government commits to continued market research to assess future competition viability as the V-22 program transitions from production to life-cycle sustainment.
