AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Navy, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, is soliciting sole-source sustainment support services for the Digital Digital Receivers (DDRx) used in the Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar (ROTHR) system, with the solicitation numbered N00189-26-R-B001 and a response deadline of June 6, 2026. This procurement is justified solely under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) due to the proprietary nature of BAE Australia’s DDRx technology, which no other entity can repair, maintain, or sustain. Legal obligations under U.S.-Australia Memorandums of Understanding signed in August and September 2020 strictly prohibit third-party access to the Australian-origin defense articles, making BAE Australia the only responsible source. Performance is centered at the ROTHR facility in Premont, Texas, with additional support required in Virginia and Puerto Rico, and critical repairs and asset retrograde processes coordinated through BAE Australia’s facilities. The contract structure includes a base year running from June 2025 to June 2026 and four one-year option periods, employing a hybrid of Firm Fixed Price and Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing mechanisms without a disclosed total value. The scope encompasses comprehensive sustainment services including technical and software support, Risk Management Framework compliance, maintenance, calibration, diagnostics, automated gain control, data handling, and the return of retrograded components to ensure uninterrupted radar mission capability for counterdrug and tactical surveillance. While formal evaluation factors, weights, or adjectival ratings are absent, technical maturity and system reliability are implicitly prioritized, with any deviation from BAE Australia as the provider flagged as posing major technical and diplomatic risks. No packaging, inspection, or acceptance standards are explicitly detailed beyond operational performance thresholds defined by system fidelity and MOU compliance. The contracting point of contact is Lauren Lauver of NAVSUP FLC Norfolk, and funding will be drawn from FY26 Operations and Maintenance appropriations. The absence of pricing data, formal clause listings, attachment enumeration, and offeror certifications underscores the unique, non-competitive nature of the acquisition, built entirely on exclusive technological and legal constraints rather than standard procurement practices.
