Award of DSMAC Phase III

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) awarded a sole-source task order to Raytheon Company on August 29, 2025, for the Tomahawk Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC) Redesign Phase III. This action was executed under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-20-G-0007 and authorized by FAR 6.301.1 (a)(2)(III) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), citing Raytheon as the only responsible source. The justification for this non-competitive award is based on Raytheon's exclusive ownership of Level III Technical Data Packages, proprietary manufacturing documentation, and specialized systems engineering expertise, which would make duplication by another source result in unreasonable costs and significant technical risk. The scope of work involves comprehensive engineering, prototyping, and sustainment services for the Tomahawk Cruise Missile Program, including the development of upgraded guidance electronics, sensor processors, and MST algorithms. Key activities encompass obsolescence management, system security engineering, and the design of assembly containers, with performance taking place in Tucson, Arizona. While the BOA allows for both cost and fixed-price orders, the specific contract value for this phase was not disclosed. The government maintains responsibility for inspection and acceptance, with deliverables managed through Contract Data Requirements Lists.
