About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) supporting the B-52H AN/ALQ-172 Electronic Countermeasures system, specifically procuring 133 Electrical Limiters, 69 Frequency Converters, and 40 Power Supplies over the contract period spanning fiscal years 2025-2029. The justification is based on FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source) authority, as Raytheon Company is the sole vendor capable of fulfilling the requirement due to being the original designer of the Phased Array Antenna Subsystem and possessing proprietary technical data and unique manufacturing capabilities that the government currently lacks. Contract SPRWA125D0005 was awarded to Raytheon on September 25, 2025, though the specific contract value was redacted from the documentation. The procurement includes an urgent 12-month Priority B ordering period followed by four 12-month routine ordering periods, with the initial urgent order consisting of 13 Frequency Converters and 25 Electrical Limiters. The government plans to redesign these LRUs by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 to eventually enable competitive sourcing in the future.
