29--Joint Precision Air Drop System - Contract Modification

The Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, through the Tobyhanna Army Depot, intends to modify the existing contract W25G1V-14-C-0007 awarded to Wamore, Inc., on a sole source basis in accordance with statutory and regulatory authorities allowing procurement from only one responsible source. This contract modification involves the acquisition of 86 additional JPADS (Joint Precision Air Drop System) conversion kits, specifically part number M2K6000106-Kit, which are essential for converting the JPADS 2k Autonomous Guidance Units into a modular configuration known as JPADS 2k-M. Wamore, the original designer and manufacturer of the JPADS 2k-M, possesses unique technical knowledge and proprietary data critical for the upgrade, which the government does not have, thereby justifying the sole source procurement. The delivery of the additional kits will coincide with ongoing production, and all inspection, acceptance, and delivery terms specify FOB destination. This procurement falls under the North American Industry Classification System code 336412, which covers guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing. Interested parties who believe they can provide the required kits are invited to contact the Contract Specialist, Raymond J. Molitoris, within 15 days of the announcement to discuss potential competition. The unique nature of the technical data and the criticality of the materials underscore the justification for modifying this contract without competition.
