The Naval Air Systems Command plans to award a sole-source contract to BAE Systems in Farnborough, UK, for the procurement of 75 Broach Lethal Packages along with associated Special Tooling, Special Test Equipment, Sustaining Engineering, Program Management services, and supporting technical and administrative/financial data. This contract will support the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) Unitary Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) program. BAE Systems is uniquely qualified as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the Broach Lethal Package, making them the only capable provider of the required equipment and services. The contract duration is set for two years and three months, with provisions for potential Foreign Military Sales that may increase the quantity of Lethal Packages procured. The contract is identified by solicitation number N00019-02-R-3109 and was posted in early 2002. The Naval Air Systems Command, operating under the Department of Defense, is managing the acquisition from its office in Patuxent River, Maryland. The Broach Lethal Package is an integral component of the JSOW Unitary munition, and the procurement aims to support initial low-rate production to meet program requirements.
