AI Contract Overview

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is preparing to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation for the development, sustainment, and testing of the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR), a critical component of the Missile Defense System’s architecture. This contract will support ongoing system development, hardware and software sustainment, and test activities for various increments of the Missile Defense System, including Increments 6C/7, 8/9, and 10. Lockheed Martin, as the original prime contractor for LRDR, is uniquely positioned to continue this work given its existing responsibilities for development, manufacture, installation, and product support of the LRDR. The sole source award is being made under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) due to the highly specialized nature of the services and the low likelihood that other sources could meet the requirements without unacceptable delays. The contract efforts are essential to meet Warfighter requirements and schedules, requiring continuation prior to full verification and validation of the LRDR Technical Data Package and software. The work will be performed primarily at locations including a site in Alaska associated with system deployment. The MDA emphasizes its commitment to small business participation and encourages interested companies to explore subcontracting opportunities with Lockheed Martin. The contract is issued by the MDA’s Ground Sensors Directorate, based in Huntsville, Alabama, and points of contact are available for questions and coordination related to this presolicitation notice.
