Netherlands PATRIOT Engineering Change Proposal Upgrades; sole Source to Raytheon

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting engineering change proposal (ECP) upgrades for the Netherlands PATRIOT Foreign Military Sales case through this sole-source RFP SPRRA2-26-R-0018. The procurement encompasses the design, production, and delivery of multiple hardware modification kits for the PATRIOT Weapon System, including Digital Exciter (DEX) upgrade kits, installation tool kits, and system modifications for components such as the Information and Coordination Central (ICC), Engagement Control Station (ECS), Launcher Station (LS), and Radar Set (RS). Raytheon Company is the sole-source contractor for this requirement, which will be placed on the existing Subsumable Contract SPRRA2-26-D-0016 under a firm-fixed-pricing structure. Key contract requirements include producing hardware configurations for Configuration 3+ INC 2, developing a Materiel Fielding Plan, conducting new equipment training, performing pre-installation equipment inspections, and providing system engineering support with two Technical Interchange Meetings annually. Contractors must maintain appropriate security clearances, comply with export control regulations, and demonstrate compliance with telecommunications equipment restrictions. The proposal submission deadline is December 30, 2025, at 4:00 PM CST, with the solicitation due date being March 13, 2026, and contractors must submit comprehensive cost and price documentation including detailed cost breakdowns, indirect expense rate documentation, and ProPricer system-generated Excel files.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, and Raytheon Company is identified as the incumbent contractor for this sole-source acquisition. The delivery schedule spans months 17 through 41 after contract award, with modification kits distributed across multiple intervals, including final deliveries scheduled for months 33 and 41 at designated install and check-out sites. The contract will utilize government-furnished property and information, including an operational Engagement Control Station, PATRIOT System Post Deployment Build 8.1 software, and various repair parts and support equipment. The performance of work will take place in Andover, Massachusetts 01810, with the contracting team led by Contracting Officer Anna Phillips and Contract Specialist Kelsey Brown from DLA Weapon Systems Support in Huntsville. While specific award value or budget ranges are not disclosed in the solicitation materials, the multi-year delivery schedule and comprehensive scope of hardware modifications, training, and system engineering support indicate a substantial government investment in modernizing the Netherlands PATRIOT system capability.
