The JP40 cartridge is a Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) Safe version with a modified ignition element incorporating a capacitor to enable EA-18G aircraft to avoid At-Risk flight status. The sole-source justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with the Contracting Officer determining that AETC is the only source with proven and validated manufacturing capabilities meeting all government performance and safety requirements within the required operational timeframe. Market research confirmed that qualifying alternative vendors would require unacceptable delays of approximately nine months for validation, testing, and manufacturing process qualification. Fleet delivery is required no later than December 31, 2026. The contract includes limited install life cartridges for fleet use and additional testing for service life extension. The Approving Officer, Maggie Alston, approved the justification on March 24, 2026. Work is performed by Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division, Contracts Office Code 02.
