M6785426C0085 Justification/Award

Raytheon Company has been awarded a hybrid firm-fixed price and cost-plus-fixed-fee contract by the Department of Defense, specifically through the Marine Corps Systems Command, for the sustainment and lifecycle management of the AN/TPX-61(V)3 Identification Friend or Foe interrogator. This sole-source award, conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), focuses on providing critical hardware sustainment and software lifecycle management support for the MADIS program. The decision to bypass full and open competition was based on market research indicating that Raytheon is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the requirements, a conclusion reinforced by a lack of responses to a previous sources-sought notice. The contract, identified by solicitation number M6785426C0085 and NAICS code 334511, is managed by the Commander's office located in Quantico, Virginia, with the primary place of performance situated at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The procurement action was finalized with a posted date of October 8, 2026. Key administrative points of contact for the agreement include Katherine Presutto and Stasia Baker of the United States Marine Corps.
