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 Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with General Atomics-Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI). The amendment covers the procurement of supplies, services, and sustainment engineering support for the MQ-9 MUX MALE System, including conversion of MQ-9A Block 5 Reaper air vehicles to USMC configurations, ground control stations, components, sensors, payloads, and associated support activities.

The five-year ordering period amendment expands the original CJ&A to incorporate additional requirements not initially contemplated, such as sustainment engineering support, sensor and payload conversions, and procurement of additional Ground Control Stations. The procurement was pursued on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with GA-ASI deemed the only source capable of fulfilling the Navy's 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.
