AI Contract Overview
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking to upgrade the Early Warning Radar (EWR) at Thule Air Base in Greenland, with the objective of maintaining compatibility with ongoing upgrades at related EWR sites in Beale Air Force Base, California, and RAF Fylingdales in the United Kingdom. The contract involves the production of hardware and software upgrade kits, modifications to the Thule EWR facility to facilitate these upgrades, adaptation of the upgraded EWR baseline to address site-specific conditions at Thule, installation of the upgrades, and support through the completion of evaluations integrating the radar into the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system. The contract is intended to be awarded to Raytheon Corporation as the sole responsible source due to their existing role as the manufacturer and developer of the Beale and Fylingdales EWR upgrades, enabling adherence to a critical 2008 deployment schedule while avoiding significant cost duplication and delays. The contract structure includes a firm-fixed-price component for hardware upgrades and a cost-plus-award-fee component for software and facility modifications. Awarding the contract exclusively to Raytheon is justified under federal acquisition regulations citing the uniqueness of the source and the impracticality of competition, as alternative contractors would face extensive delays and costly duplication of efforts. The effort is managed by the MDA’s offices in Huntsville, Alabama, with designated points of contact overseeing contract activities. A formal Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition is underway to support the sole-source award to Raytheon.
