About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA Land Aberdeen) anticipates issuing a Request for Proposal for a sole-source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with RTX Corporation for PATRIOT Missile and RTX Technologies systems and production support. The contract will cover comprehensive supply chain management, production, sustainment, and logistics support for systems manufactured by RTX, including hardware, software, services, spare parts, maintenance planning, configuration management, and engineering support. The anticipated contract will be awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) parts 12 and 15, with specific authorization under 10 U.S. Code 3204(a)(1) due to RTX being the original equipment manufacturer with unique expertise. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 20, 2025, with questions to be directed to Johnna Bursk and Marley Joyner, and a potential RFP release date of April 4, 2025. The government expects to award the contract no later than August 5, 2025.

The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and represents a follow-on to a previous contract awarded to Raytheon Company in September 2015 (now operating under RTX Corporation). The IDIQ contract will have a twenty-year umbrella structure, consisting of one five-year base period with up to three additional five-year option periods. The maximum contract value is $50 billion, with subsumable contracts to be issued to ordering agencies not exceeding ten years in length. Potential contract types include Cost Plus Fixed-Fee, Firm Fixed-Price, Time and Materials, and Award Fee delivery orders. The contract will enable the Department of Defense and other federal agencies to utilize this vehicle for RTX's sole-source systems, with pricing to be established through individual subsumable contracts. The broad scope includes support for guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, with a primary objective of improving material and services availability for RTX-manufactured systems.

Notice text

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 5, “Publicizing Contract Actions,” DLA Land Aberdeen anticipates issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) on or about April 4, 2025. The anticipated action will be for a twenty (20) year umbrella contract containing terms and conditions, on a sole source basis to RTX Corporation, 1000 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code 61858, pursuant to the authority 10 United States Code(USC) 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” RTX Corporation is the original equipment manufacturer and sole developer with the necessary expertise, capability and proficiency to perform the requirements of this contract. The contract period is five (5) years, with up to three (3) five (5) year option periods, a maximum contract value of $50B, and is anticipated to be awarded NLT than August 5, 2025. Pricing will not be established on the base contract. Agencies authorized to order against the RTX base contract will be issued subsumable contracts where pricing will be established.  Each subsumable contract, not to exceed ten (10) years in length, shall establish pricing as deemed practical.

The Government anticipates an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity long-term contract for sole-source systems manufactured by RTX Corporation to include the following: hardware, software, and services inherent to production as well as wholesale supply, logistics support, inventory management, maintenance planning, configuration management and sustainment engineering associated with the RTX sole-source systems or system components. The intent is also for DLA to enable the Department of Defense (DoD), and all other federal agencies, use of this contract vehicle for any of RTX DoD sole source systems.

The Government anticipates the resultant contract to include terms and conditions for one (1) five (5) year base period and up to three (3) five (5) year option periods. Subsumable contracts will be issued to ordering agencies not to exceed the ten-year period authorized by 10 U.S.C. 3403(f), unless appropriate approval is obtained.

The umbrella contract will allow for, but is not limited to, Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF), CPFF with Incentives, Cost Reimbursement (CR), Firm Fixed-Price (FFP), Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment (FPEPA), Level of Effort (LOE), FFP with Incentives, Time and Materials (T&M), and Award Fee type delivery orders and task orders. This will be conducted under FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation, and FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

The proposed action is for supply chain management, production, sustainment, and logistics support for systems manufactured by RTX. In addition to spare parts, support may include holistic support and logistics management services, including but not limited to wholesale supply and logistics support, inventory management, maintenance planning, configuration management, repair development, production, line replaceable units (LRU), repair of repairables, and sustainment engineering associated with an RTX system and/or end item. It may also include additive manufacturing solutions, depot-level maintenance, depot-level support, material management, engineering support and sustainment elements, packaging, storage, transportation, reliability improvements, and field engineering support. The all-encompassing goal will be to improve material and services availability for systems manufactured by RTX. The resultant contract will be a follow on to SPRBL1-15-D-0017, awarded to Raytheon Company in September 2015. Raytheon Company is now in operation under RTX Corporation.

This synopsis does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government.
