JOINT ELECTRONIC DATA ACQUISITION INTERFACE (JEDAI)

The Joint Electronic Data Acquisition Interface (JEDAI) is a sole-source IDIQ contract awarded by the Department of the Air Force, specifically the AFLCMC WWMK, to GE Aerospace. This procurement, identified by solicitation number FA823226CB011 and NAICS code 541330, is designed to replace aging Crash Survivable Flight Data Recorders across the F-16C/D fleet. The performance of the contract is centered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with administrative oversight provided by the office located at Hill AFB, Utah. The award was justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as a justification for other than full and open competition. GE Aerospace was determined to be the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the requirement due to proprietary technical data constraints. This sole-source approach was deemed necessary to prevent unacceptable delays in implementation and to avoid the duplication of costs associated with developing an alternative solution.
