SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:

Raytheon, Portsmouth RI is the sole provider of the required, classified software model. They developed the source model for their program (associated with the case) and developed it in strict compliance with the delivery requirements of the case. The requirements of the case are unique to this program and as the CCS contractor;

Raytheon developed the model as an internal feature to their CCS product. Raytheon will alter their model to align with the system requirements and provide it to the USN for incorporation into that system for delivery.

To meet the case requirements, the use of the Raytheon model is essential. Use of a different software model from a different vendor would require extensive development efforts at great expense to the government. Given Raytheon’s exclusive design rights and further restrictions due to its classified nature, another model would not accurately replicate the Raytheon system model within the Raytheon CCS. Mismatch between the CCS model and the performance of the would cause confusion, reduce the operational benefit to our customer, and reduce the effectiveness of the systems.
