58--SOLE SOURCE MODIFICATION TO CONTRACT M67854-07-C-2072 FOR THE GROUND/AIR TASK ORIENTED RADAR (G/ATOR)

The Marine Corps Systems Command plans to issue a sole source modification to an existing contract (M67854-07-C-2072) with Northrop Grumman Systems to significantly increase the ceiling of the Engineering Services and Support line item from 10,000 to 50,000 hours. This contract supports the G/ATOR program, which serves as a unified solution combining the Multi-Role Radar System and Ground Weapons Locating Radar capabilities. The modification will provide additional engineering services for studies and development tasks not originally covered in the contract, such as technology readiness assessments and engineering change proposals. This procurement is being pursued solely with Northrop Grumman under the statutory authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), allowing for non-competitive awards under specific circumstances, as guided by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. No competitive solicitation or request for proposal is being issued for this modification. The contract supports the Department of Defense’s goal of enhancing radar system capabilities through continuous engineering support and innovation, ensuring that the program meets evolving operational requirements.
