TAB A1_CJA Amend 1_MUX MALE_Final 14MAR23_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) Amendment 01 from the Naval Air Systems Command for a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with General Atomics-Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) for the MQ-9 MUX MALE System. The amendment covers the procurement of supplies and services including: conversion of MQ-9A Block 5 Reaper air vehicles to USMC configurations, ground control station components, sensors, payloads, recurring and non-recurring engineering, investigations, analyses, training, hardware support, engineering change orders, and technical support for the MQ-9 MUX MALE system.

The five-year ordering period amendment increases the original contract scope to include sustainment engineering support, conversion of sensors and payloads to USMC configurations, and procurement of additional Ground Control Stations. The government determined GA-ASI is the only source capable of fulfilling Navy requirements due to its unique capabilities and extensive experience with the MQ-9 system. No other sources expressed interest during market research, and NAVAIR has no immediate plans to compete future contracts for these specific supplies and services, though they will assess feasibility if another potential source emerges.
