AIM-9X Blk II Lot 12 FMS

The Naval Air Systems Command, acting through the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, awarded a sole-source modification to Raytheon Missile Systems for the production of AIM-9X Block II Lot 12 missiles and associated containers. This award is specifically designated for Foreign Military Sales customers and was executed under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The procurement falls under NAICS code 336414 and was managed by contracting officers Kurt J. Dronenburg and Daniel Haertle based in Patuxent River, Maryland. The justification for bypassing full and open competition is based on Raytheon Missile Systems being the only responsible source capable of providing the necessary production, sustainment, and non-recurring engineering support through fiscal year 2015. This determination was driven by the absence of a technical data package and the prohibitive costs associated with qualifying an alternative source. To ensure fiscal responsibility, the agreement includes requirements for fair and reasonable pricing reviews and outlines specific actions intended to foster future competition.
