About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Materiel Command (AFLCMC), Electronic Systems Directorate at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, issued this Special Notice announcing a sole-source contract award for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) services. On April 4, 2026, the Air Force awarded a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to EWR Radar Systems, Inc. with an estimated value of $17,354,000.00. The contract covers a four-and-a-half-year ordering period extending through December 2029 and represents a continuation of services previously provided under an existing contract. The award was justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, establishing that only one responsible source could satisfy the government's requirements. Performance of the contract will occur at EWR Radar Systems, Inc.'s facilities in St. Louis, Missouri.
The primary objective of this contract is to sustain and support 48 AN/TMS-2 Portable Doppler Radar (PDR) systems currently deployed globally. CLS services include program management, quality assurance, help desk support, maintenance, spare part repair management, LRU procurement and repair, cyber security maintenance with TCNO updates and annual security scans, and obsolescence management through Engineering Change Proposals. The government justified the sole-source award based on EWR Radar Systems' exclusive access to proprietary technical data, software rights, and WeatherScout software integration capabilities essential for maintaining these systems, as well as market research efforts that identified no alternative sources capable of providing equivalent integrated support. This Special Notice serves an informational purpose regarding the contract award decision; the May 20, 2026 due date likely pertains to comments or questions regarding the sole-source justification rather than a competitive proposal submission opportunity.
