Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center intends to issue a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) on a sole source basis to Raytheon, McKinney, TX for the repair, production, engineering services, maintenance, and upgrade of the AN/AAS-44C(V) FLIR system, the AN/AAS-52(V) Multi-Spectral Targeting System, the AN/DAS-1A and other derivatives.

These systems are used on the MQ-1 and MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, the MH-60R multi-mission helicopter and other platforms. The BOA will be placed in accordance with the statutory authority of 10 USC 2304(c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.†The anticipated BOA is estimated at $445 million and anticipated award date is Jan 2012. The period of the BOA is for five years. The basis for restricting competition was the lack of sufficient technical data, restricted software rights, duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirement through any other source.

This synopsis is issued to advertise the BOA and requirements that will be met through orders placed under the BOA for a one year period.
