G16a Redacted J and A.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document from the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) China Lake authorizing a sole-source contract modification to Raytheon Company for contract N6893623D0042. The modification provides a $9.48M ceiling increase to the materials contract line item on an existing five-year Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, bringing the total contract value from $35.7M to $45.2M.

The contract covers upgrades to multiple weapon systems developed by Raytheon including AIM-9, AIM-120 AMRAAM, AGM-65 Maverick, AGM-154 JSOW, Tomahawk Missile, and others. Work includes technology demonstration, product improvements, system integration, mission analysis, and CONOPS development. The sole-source justification cites Raytheon's unique historical knowledge, expertise and data rights. Two responses were received to Sources Sought notices posted in December 2021 and August 2024, but neither company was deemed capable of meeting requirements. The additional funding will specifically support testing and evaluation of new technologies for the Tactical Tomahawk (TACTOM) Joint Multiple Effects Warhead System (JMEWS) based on increased Fleet demand.
