About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for the STARLite-ER system sustainment support services through contract W56JSR-20-D-0006, awarded to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC). The five-year contract extension covers comprehensive logistics support including test and inspect services, repair services, technical support, parts replenishment, and addressing Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) for the Small Tactical Radar - Lightweight Synthetic Aperture Radar/Ground Moving Target Indicator Extended Range System. NGSC was determined to be the sole source provider due to their unique hardware Technical Data Package ownership and system design, with market research conducted through a Sources Sought notice confirming no viable alternative vendors. Reverse engineering the system was deemed extremely high-risk and potentially compromising to mission capabilities, further justifying the sole source approach. While specific cost details were redacted, the Independent Government Cost Estimate methodology was based on historical data from the current contract, indicating continuity of existing support services for this specialized military radar system.
