About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of redesigned Line Replaceable Unit-4 (LRU-4) components for the AN/ALQ-172 Countermeasures Transmitter, which is part of the B-52H strategic bomber's Electronic Countermeasures System. The sole source award was justified under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source) because L3Harris Technologies, Inc. is the original designer of the AN/ALQ-172 system and currently holds contracts for multiple LRU redesigns, while the government lacks complete technical data packages and test equipment necessary for competitive procurement. The contract was awarded to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. on September 26, 2025, though the contract value remains redacted in the available documentation. The procurement addresses the replacement of legacy LRU components that are no longer sustainable due to obsolescence and reliability issues, with a performance period spanning FY24-FY27. Market research conducted through a Sources Sought synopsis posted on SAM.gov on November 1, 2023, received no responses, further supporting the sole source determination. The ultimate objective is to obtain full technical data rights to enable future competitive sourcing for these critical electronic countermeasures components.
