CLASS JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. Contracting Activity

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Surface Systems Contracts Division, SEA 025.

2. Description of the Action Being Approved

NAVSEA intends to utilize other than full and open competition to award contract actions to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS), in Moorestown, NJ, for technical engineering efforts associated with the operation and maintenance of the combat systems development and test sites. This effort is a follow-on to the previously awarded AEGIS Sites Operation & Maintenance (O&M) contract (N00024-18-C-5103). Authority to act under this class justification expires on

3. Description of Supplies/Services

A phased award of the subject follow-on New Jersey Combat System Sites O&M procurement is anticipated to mitigate schedule risk. The procurement will provide continuing technical engineering, configuration management, associated equipment/supplies, quality assurance, cyber security, and other operation and maintenance efforts for the Combat Systems Engineering Development Site (CSEDS), SPY-1A Test Facility (SPY-1A), Land Based Test Site (LBTS), and the Naval Systems Computer Center (NSCC). These facilities incorporate highly integrated, classified, real-time networks that connect numerous contractor and U.S Government facilities required to build, integrate, test, and deliver computer code.

This procurement action will also provide the continuing maintenance and planned improvements of the New Jersey Combat System Sites for the development of future capability improvements supporting the United States Navy (USN) Baselines (BL), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), US Coast Guard (USCG), Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), and Army BLs inclusive of hardware and software. Additionally, the New Jersey Combat System Sites provide support for the Ship Self-Defense System, Littoral Combat Ships, and other ship defense systems.

The estimated total period of performance of the contract actions is FY2023 through FY2028, composed of one (1) base year with four (4) one-year options. The estimated dollar value of this requirement, including projected future FMS requirements, is $ M. The total estimated cost is provided in the table below.

CJ&A Number: 51,226

The New Jersey Combat System Sites support parallel development efforts associated with AEGIS Modernization (AMOD), DDG new construction, in-service AEGIS fleet, BMD, and FMS contract requirements. An alternate source would need detailed knowledge of all ACS/AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) BL configurations as well as understanding of the processes in place in order to meet requirements. Moreover, the contractor would have to overcome the site complexity due to the interdependencies of shared combat system assets across the sites.

The Program Executive Office (PEO) Integrated Warfare Systems (IWS) 1.0 estimates that a new contractor would need approximately thirty (30) months to become proficient with the operation and maintenance of the New Jersey Combat System Sites facilities. This estimate is based on historical data from the establishment and on-going operations of the New Jersey Combat System Sites and the associated baseline configurations. This includes the time required to learn multiple legacy baselines using Military Specifications (MilSpec) as well as existing baseline configurations and facility support infrastructure. Based on similar efforts, the Government estimates that it would take approximately twelve (12) months to build multiple validated Technical Data Packages (TDP) for each USN and FMS baseline and another eighteen

(18) months to develop the technical expertise needed to successfully operate the various test sites, representing an estimated thirty (30) month delay.

Furthermore, it would be impractical and disruptive for another source to perform requirements within the bounds of the LM RMS Main Campus (NSCC, SPY-1A Test Facility, and LBTS).

This tasking occurs in facilities owned and/or operated by LM RMS and is completely integrated in their larger campus buildings and security. Moreover, decoupling shared assets across the sites would result in substantial duplication of costs that would not be recovered through competition for the purchase of equipment/infrastructure. The Government does not have a facility that can house these labs presently. If it did, removing the SPY1-A radar and reinstalling at another site would be very costly and the relocation of the labs would cause disruption to testing and a delay to certification. If the Government chose to relocate these labs, it would initially cost an estimated $40M and take approximately forty-eight (48) months, with additional recurring costs.

This is based on fair market value for land rental, costs of additional lab space due the to move from LM property, costs of removal and reinstallation of existing equipment, and costs of training required to facilitate this move.

If the Government chose to relocate the labs, the time it would take for a new vendor to develop the technical expertise necessary for the operation and maintenance of the New Jersey Combat System Sites facilities (18 months), could only occur after the sites currently located at the Main Plant have moved (48 months). Therefore, in that case the estimated schedule delay would be approximately sixty-six (66) months. This would extend beyond the PoP through 2028 and disrupt an estimated sixteen (16) baseline certifications currently planned through March 2026.

Any impacts to development of the current and future baselines could delay the sail away of new construction and AEGIS Modernization (AMOD) efforts. For the foregoing reasons, LM RMS is the only source capable of meeting the Navy’s requirements.
