DEX KITS, Sole Source to Raytheon

The government intends to acquire the Digital Exciter (DEX) Mod Kit for the Patriot Missile Weapons System, specifically for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, through a sole-source procurement exclusively from Raytheon, identified by Cage Code 05716. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), which permits sole sourcing due to the unavailability of data necessary for competitive bidding, the inability to obtain such data economically, and the lack of suitable specifications for a competitive solicitation. The items involved include the US part number 13741482 and the FMS part number 13741481, and the acquisition supports the Integrated Fires Mission Command Program Office. The solicitation process is ongoing, with a response deadline set for June 25, 2025, and interested firms are encouraged to seek source approval and submit inquiries via email to designated points of contact at the Defense Logistics Agency. All requests for the solicitation must be routed through the appropriate channels, including embassies for foreign firms, and the solicitation will be issued under an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract as part of the new Alpha 6 contract vehicle. The procurement is managed by the DLA Aviation at Huntsville, Alabama, with performance expected at Andover, Massachusetts.
