Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) Captive Air Training Missile (CATM)

The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a sole source modification under a production contract to Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona, for the procurement of production spare parts for the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW). This acquisition, which includes the JSOW Captive Air Training Missile (CATM) and initial spares such as Strike Common Weapon Data Links and related components, is intended to support the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center. The contract was executed as a firm-fixed price modification under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1. Raytheon Missile Systems was selected as the sole provider because it is the only responsible source with the requisite knowledge, technical expertise, production tooling facilities, and technical data necessary to satisfy the agency requirements, serving as the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and integrator of the JSOW weapon system. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 336414. Subcontracting opportunities related to this effort may be coordinated through Raytheon Missile Systems.
