Redacted ClassJandA posting.docx

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) and SAP Non-Competitive Posting for a sole source contract award with the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC-CR) awarded a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Sierra Nevada Corporation (444 Salomon Circle, Sparks, NV 89434-9651) for Common Chassis Weapons Replaceable Assemblies (WRA's), Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRA's), and Sub-Assemblies under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) authority. The contract, identified as N0016423GJW72P00006 (solicitation N0016422RJW72 with amendment 0001), was awarded on August 6, 2026, with an increased contract ceiling of $8.4 million. The effort supports Persistent Maritime Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMUAS), Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA), and Submarine Systems Program activities, encompassing repair, rework, maintenance, engineering and logistics support, test and evaluation, research and development, training, and travel.

The sole source justification cites lack of sufficient technical data, extensive duplication of costs including re-engineering and re-certifications, environmental qualifications, and unacceptable delays that would result from competitive procurement. The contracting office is located at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (Crane, IN 47522) under PSC J016 and NAICS 334511. Angie Cooperider serves as the specialist contact (angela.w.cooperider.civ@us.navy.mil, 812-381-7267). While the original solicitation closed on July 13, 2022, the J&A posting template indicates the Government reserved the right to consider capability statements from other responsible sources, though the final determination to proceed non-competitively remained solely within Government discretion.
