APG-79 RADAR Retrofit Phase VIThe Naval Air Systems Command at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, plans to award a sole-source modification to Delivery Order N00019-21-F-0804 under Raytheon’s Corporate Basic Ordering Agreement to continue essential repair and configuration upgrade efforts for APG-79 radar Weapons Replaceable Assemblies. These repairs are necessary to address nonfunctioning units identified during baseline testing prior to the implementation of Engineering Change Proposal 6279, which requires units to be fully operational before upgrade. Raytheon is the exclusive designer, developer, manufacturer, and depot for the APG-79 radar system and holds all proprietary technical data and drawings needed to perform accurate repairs and upgrades, making it the only source capable of meeting the government’s requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner. The action is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(C)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique and specialized nature of the equipment, where competition would result in unacceptable duplication of cost with no prospect of recovery. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals; responses must be submitted by August 11, 2026, and all inquiries should be directed to Contract Specialist John Ryan. Subcontracting opportunities are to be pursued directly through Raytheon.

Notice of Intent – TMPC Core Subsystems – BAE SystemsThe Naval Air Systems Command plans to award a sole-source, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems for the ongoing development, delivery, and sustainment of critical Theater Mission Planning Center subsystems, including the Targeting and Navigation Toolset, Geographic Information System, Conventional Prompt Strike Planning Tool, and CPS Command and Control Toolbox. This contract will have a base year followed by four option years, with an anticipated start in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2027, and is justified under statutory authority permitting sole-source selection due to BAE Systems’ unique status as the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive access to proprietary technical data, source code, and specialized expertise necessary to avoid unacceptable delays. The procurement is not open to competition, as no other entity possesses the required capability, and the government has determined that awarding to any other source would significantly impede mission readiness. Interested parties may submit information prior to the response deadline to assist the government in evaluating whether competition is feasible, but submission does not guarantee a solicitation or award, and no financial or contractual commitment is implied. All inquiries must be submitted in writing via email to the designated point of contact, and potential subcontractors are directed to engage directly with BAE Systems.
