TAB A1_CJA Amend 1_MUX MALE_Final 14MAR23_Redacted.pdf

This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) Amendment 01 that revises and replaces CJ&A 21-0382 for a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) issued to General Atomics-Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) to support the MQ-9 Reaper Marine Air Ground Task Force UAS Expeditionary Medium Altitude Long Endurance System for PMA-266. The original BOA was issued on January 27, 2022, with the first delivery order awarded September 9, 2022.

The amendment incorporates sustainment engineering support, conversion of sensors and payloads to USMC configurations, and procurement of additional Ground Control Stations that were not originally anticipated. The scope includes procurement of supplies, services, engineering support and associated data for the MQ-9 MUX MALE System over a five-year ordering period. Key services include conversion of MQ-9A Block 5 Reaper vehicles, engineering and technical support, training, hardware/equipment, software maintenance, and testing support. GA-ASI is justified as the sole source provider under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on their unique capabilities as the original equipment manufacturer since 2005. The Naval Air Systems Command conducted market research through Sources Sought notices in June 2021 and October 2022, with no other sources expressing interest.
