AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division plans to modify its existing sole-source contract with Raytheon Company to extend the ordering period and increase the Level of Effort hours and associated costs for systems and software engineering services supporting the full life cycle of the ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer and Advanced Electronic Warfare subsystems. The modification is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1, as Raytheon is the sole original equipment manufacturer with the unique, specialized knowledge required to maintain and enhance the complex hardware and software interoperability of the NGJ-MB system. No other source can provide the necessary expertise without causing unacceptable delays, significant cost duplication, or risking mission readiness for Navy EA-18G aircraft and cooperative international defense initiatives with Australia. The scope includes program management, systems and software engineering, test and evaluation, field engineering, jamming techniques development, training, fleet support, and laboratory services, all requiring a Top Secret facility clearance. This action follows a sources sought notice issued to determine if any other entities can meet the stringent requirements, though the government has indicated that competition is not feasible due to the highly specialized nature of the system and the OEM’s irreplaceable role. Firms may submit capability statements by the deadline, detailing their experience, resources, and business classification, but submissions are strictly voluntary and do not constitute a solicitation or obligation to award a contract. All responses must be sent via email to the listed point of contact, formatted as a single document not exceeding ten pages with a minimum twelve-point font, and may require use of a secure DoD SAFE Drop-off link if they include Controlled Unclassified Information. The contract number referenced is N6893621D0009, with the NAICS code 541330, and the work will support both domestic and foreign military sales efforts across multiple domains including laboratory, ground, and flight testing environments.

Full Description
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), Point Mugu, CA intends to negotiate a sole-source contract modification to increase the Level of Effort (LOE) on contract N6893621D0009 for Engineering Services with Raytheon Company, 200 E. El Segundo Blvd., El Segundo, CA 90245. The proposed contract modification will increase the LOE by an estimated 111,597 labor hours within the current contract period of performance, with an estimated cost increase of $38M. The current Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract was awarded on a sole-source basis to Raytheon Company. However, emerging fleet requirements resulted in an unanticipated reallocation of contractual work and expansion of services related to the Software Support Activity (SSA).
In accordance with FAR 6.103-1(b), only Raytheon Company, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), solely possesses the required expertise. Transitioning to a non-OEM vendor will cause unacceptable fielding delays and will directly degrade Fleet mission readiness and jeopardize cooperative U.S. and Australian defense projects.
