About this file
This Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document authorizes a sole-source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with Collins Aerospace for E-6B program support services through 13 May 2029. The contract covers a wide range of technical services including engineering change proposals, technical publications development, manufacturing of retrofit kits, repair parts, obsolescence management, training services, system integration, navigation support, data library updates, and weapon system integration support.
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) determined Collins Aerospace is the only qualified provider after conducting a Sources Sought Notice in November 2023, with Boeing expressing interest but not submitting a capability statement. The estimated contract value is partially redacted, but the government has determined the anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable. The BOA was synopsized on SAM.gov on 2 April 2024, with NAVAIR noting that no alternative sources are currently viable without causing unacceptable delays in meeting E-6B mission system requirements.

CJ&A No. 24-0175 cannot be performed by another source other than Collins Aerospace without unacceptable delays in meeting fleet capability and performance of the E-6B.
6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable.
As required by DFARS PGI 206.302-1, a Sources Sought Notice for the requirements that are intended to be procured under BOA task and delivery orders was posted to SAM.gov website on 2 November 2023 and closed 17 November 2023. Collins Aerospace was the only company who provided the requested information to demonstrate the ability to fulfil the Government’s requirement. Boeing Government Systems expressed interest in the Sources Sought requesting to be kept in the distribution, however did not provide a capability statement. Despite further engagement by the Government, no further communication was received from Boeing. Therefore, without Boeing providing the requested information demonstrating their ability to perform the requirement, Boeing’s response was determined unable to satisfy the requirements.
In accordance with FAR Subpart 5.201, the proposed BOA was synopsized on the SAM.gov website on 2 April, 2024. Only one response was received from a vendor interested in subcontracting opportunities and they were referred to Collins Aerospace, any future responses will be evaluated by the Procuring Contracting Officer prior to award. In accordance with FAR 5.201, orders will be individually synopsized on the SAM website. The contracting officer will evaluate any responses received prior to award of each order. Additionally, parties interested in subcontracting opportunities will be referred to Collins Aerospace to maximize competition in subcontracted efforts.
7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.
The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this CJ&A will be fair and reasonable.
8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.
For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, NAVAIR has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NAVAIR will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
As this is a follow-on for supplies and services previously awarded on a non-competitive basis, in accordance with DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(i), the prior CJ&As were provided to the approval authority for review. Approval of this CJ&A signifies the approval authority has made the determination required by DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(ii).
