Redacted_AMRAAM_Justification_And_Approval.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile) production and sustainment program. The document supports multiple new contract actions for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Air Dominance Division, focusing on missile production and associated support activities. Raytheon Missile Systems is identified as the sole qualified contractor, with the contract covering production of AIM-120 missile variants, associated configurations, and comprehensive support services including technical support, program management, logistics, testing, and sustainment tasks.

The J&A justifies sole-source award to Raytheon based on the company's unique technical capabilities and historical investment in the AMRAAM system. The document notes that no other companies have expressed interest in being a second source for production, and qualifying another source would involve substantial duplicative costs. The contract covers activities such as missile production, system variants, technical support, program support, annual sustainment, and various logistics and engineering services. The estimated contract value is redacted, but the document indicates the effort is a follow-on contract for continued production of a mature major defense acquisition program, with Lot 33 planned for award in March 2019.
