JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL (J&A)

FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. Contracting Activity.

The Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Contracts Division (CXNN), Crane Division

2. Description of the Action Being Approved.

Increase the ceiling amount of the Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the procurement of spares, repairs and satellite support to Viasat Inc., 6155 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, CA 92009, (47358) from $3,250,000 to $6,900,00. This effort is in support of the EP- 3 and Special Projects Aircraft (SPA).

3. Description of Supplies/Services.

A ceiling increase is required for the IDIQ contract being awarded to Viasat Inc. The ceiling in the original J&A of $3,250,000 was based on estimated requirements at the time the Part B package was prepared for submittal to the CXNN Air Electronic Warfare Contracting Branch, which was December 2012. The estimated requirements were based on 2010-2011 maintenance and flight records. Due to the budget sequester and funding issues in 2013, the Part B package was never submitted to contracts until almost a year later in November 2013. The J&A was processed by the Contract Specialist based on the original estimate. Later, the Requiring Technical Activity (RTA) provided updated estimates of the number of spares and repairs that would be required, which was substantially more than the original estimate. The estimated quantities increased because usage of Viasat systems has increased from about 30% of missions to 90% of missions. This is due to Viasat launching four additional satellites since the original J&A estimate was prepared, and the four additional satellites expanded Viasat’s satellite coverage by about 80%, making it feasible to use the Viasat system on more missions. The increased usage will result in increased spare and repair requirements.

The updated funding profile for this IDIQ contract is as noted:
