The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) contract to Raytheon SAS, El Segundo California, on a sole source basis for the Increment I Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of the Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) program. The contract will include the design, development, manufacture, integration, demonstration, and test of fifteen (15) NGJ EDM pods in addition to the procurement of NGJ Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs) and equipment needed for System Integration Laboratories (SILs). This is a follow on contract to the existing Technology Development (TD) contract N00019-13-C-0128 which was awarded to Raytheon on a competitive basis. The NGJ system will initially be integrated on the EA-18G tactical aircraft to replace aging ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System pods.

The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. § 2304(c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1: "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements," and more specifically 10 U.S.C. § 2304(d)(1)(B) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii): "Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in- (A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered in competition; or (B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements."

This is not a commercial buy and therefore the Government does not intend to use the provisions of FAR Part 12 for this acquisition. This synopsis is published for informational purposes only. Expressions of interest in subcontracting shall be addressed to Donald Ritter of Raytheon at (310) 647-0158.
