Contractor Logistics Support FY27-FY28 Extension

The Missile Defense Agency has awarded contract HQ014718D0001, a Contractor Logistics Support extension, on a sole-source basis under a limited sources justification. The attached amended J&A identifies Raytheon Technologies (RTX) as the awardee and states the action increases the stated maximum value by $489.86 million, for a total contract value of $3.095 billion. The award is dated October 21, 2026, and the notice is marked "No Set-Aside Used."

The action extends the existing CLS IDIQ, originally awarded to RTX on a sole-source basis on October 17, 2017, for Operations and Sustainment support of the AN/TPY-2 radar fleet. The ordering period extends two years through October 31, 2028, for an 11-year total, which exceeds the standard 10-year DFARS limitation. The J&A states that the agency head determined this exceedance is justified by the FY 2026 transition of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense Operations and Sustainment activities to the U.S. Army. Required services include radar operation and maintenance at multiple sites, Line Replaceable Unit repair and inventory management, and sustaining engineering, funded through Operations and Maintenance and Procurement appropriations.

The J&A cites the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Overhaul regulations as the authority and determines RTX is the only responsible source based on its 20-year role as original equipment manufacturer and its possession of proprietary technical data, specialized test equipment, software integration environments, and manufacturing processes. Market research through Requests for Information from 2022 to 2025 drew 12 responses, but the agency concluded no alternative contractor could perform without unacceptable delays to warfighter readiness. The Procuring Contracting Officer requires certified cost or pricing data, and the Defense Contract Audit Agency and Defense Contract Management Agency will support price reasonableness review. The Missile Defense Agency Director approved the J&A, which commits the agency to future competition through continued market research, systems modularization, technical data rights acquisition, and expanded depot repair programs.
