About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base published a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for the FOE- Inventory Objective Increase (Conversion) program, which requires the conversion of 3,694 Government Furnished Material WGU-59/B guidance sections to True Pulse Logic Algorithm (WGU-59B/B) configuration to meet inventory objectives for the FALCO (Fixed Air Launched, Unmanned Aircraft System Ordnance) program. The sole source justification is based on an Urgent Operational Need to address the growing threat of low-cost unmanned aerial systems, with BAE Systems identified as the only vendor capable of providing the highly specialized software upgrade within the required timeframe due to their previous development of air-to-air counter UAS software. The contract was awarded to BAE Systems on April 25, 2025, with a total anticipated value of $1.6 million structured as a Firm Fixed Price contract utilizing the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC). The procurement includes two Contract Line Items: an initial CLIN 0001 for 474 guidance sections and an option CLIN 1001 for 3,220 additional sections, with a 12-month performance period beginning no later than 1QFY25. This conversion will increase the inventory objective from 1,080 to 4,774 units and enable the Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System (APKWS) to be modified for air-to-air engagements against Group 3 UAS threats.
