CJ&A_21-0066

As a result of a competitive procurement in 1994, RMD was selected as the sole producer of the TACTOM AUR missile, MRSS and FT Kits, which are integral parts of each TACTOM AUR missile for flight test purposes and depot maintenance. RMD maintains and controls both the Technical Data Package (TDP) and the manufacturing documentation for the TACTOM and associated Government Special Tooling, Special Test Equipment and Government Property due to the performance-based nature of the TACTOM development and production contracts. The Navy has not procured TDPs adequate for competition of the TACTOM AUR missile, MRSS and FT Kits and associated support. Further, RMD is not willing to sell the USN the Level III TDP, which would be required for a competitive procurement.

RMD is the only known source that currently possesses the required technical knowledge, expertise, data, and facilities required to produce and maintain the TACTOM AUR missile and MRSS and FT Kits to meet USN Fleet, other DoD Service customers and FMS customer requirements.
