Toray CJA_Redacted_1.pdf

This document is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) for a ten-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Toray Advanced Composites USA, Inc. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) seeks to award a sole-source contract for the procurement of resin systems to repair Radomes on various aircraft. The required supplies include six different pre-preg adhesive and film materials with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), totaling 14,850 yards and 13,200 square feet over a ten-year period.

The justification for sole-source procurement is based on Toray's proprietary resin chemistry and manufacturing processes for the BTCy-1A and BTCy-1 Cyanate Ester resin systems. On December 13, 2023, Toray declined to sell or license the Technical Data Package to the government. The estimated contract value is $6 million, with a 12-month lead time after order receipt. Alternative vendors would require extensive and costly flight testing (estimated at $75,315,680), potentially cause significant delays in repair schedules, and may negatively impact warfighter operations. The contract authority expires on August 30, 2034.
