About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command has issued a sole source justification notice for the procurement of Integrated Microwave Assemblies (IMAs) to support the EA-18G Airborne Electronic Attack Suite's AN/ALQ-218 Tactical Jamming System Receiver. The contract will be awarded to CAES Mission Systems LLC of Woburn, MA, for the supply of 14 variable attenuators with delivery required over 12 months at a rate of 7 units per month. The sole source justification is based on CAES IMAs being the only tested, qualified, and approved components for the WRA 1-4 assemblies under existing contracts, with no other vendor capable of providing the same form, fit, and function within comparable timeframes to meet fleet readiness requirements. Market research indicates these specialized components have long lead times and potential obsolescence issues with sub-components, requiring unique technical knowledge that only CAES possesses. While the contract award amount remains undisclosed, the acquisition falls under simplified acquisition procedures and is scheduled for award on September 1, 2025. The procurement supports critical defense electronics systems and ensures continued operational capability for naval electronic warfare platforms.
