About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps has awarded a sole-source follow-on Basic Ordering Agreement to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for sustaining engineering and logistics support of the Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) program under contract M67854-26-G-0003 on May 15, 2026.
The sole-source justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), grounded in NGSC's proprietary rights to the G/ATOR's underlying tracking software, electronic protection techniques, and hardware calibration capability. The Government holds only limited and restricted rights to the technical data package, particularly for the antenna array and Radar Equipment Group subsystem. Re-engineering for competition would exceed $1 billion in estimated costs and create delays exceeding 10 years, rendering competition infeasible. Two Requests for Information issued in January 2024 and August 2024 identified only Vertex Company, LLC and Tiger Team Engineering as potential alternatives; both were deemed incapable without access to the proprietary G/ATOR technical data package.
The BOA authority to order expires January 19, 2031. Services include engineering changes, contractor logistics support, depot life cycle support, Software Support Activity support, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages support, technical refresh, studies and analyses, retrofit of six fielded Gallium Arsenide G/ATOR Low-Rate Initial Production systems with Gallium Nitride technology, operational spares buys, software development, and 5G America's Mid-Band Initiative Spectrum accommodation. Place of performance is Linthicum Heights, Maryland. Orders will be funded from RDT&E, Procurement Marine Corps, Procurement United States Air Force, Operations and Maintenance Marine Corps, Navy Working Capital Fund, and Spectrum Relocation Fund. The Senior Procurement Executive performing the duties of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development, and Acquisition) has approved the justification.
