Quadrant Target Detection Device (QTDD)/Datalink Electronics (DLE) - UCA

Raytheon Company of Tucson, Arizona has been awarded a $398,691,358 cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-reimbursement undefinitized contract action to perform Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile D4/C9 system requirements review and preliminary design review activities, including proof of design and proof of manufacturing. The work is scheduled for completion by December 11, 2027, and will be executed exclusively at the contractor’s facility in Tucson, Arizona. This contract supports Foreign Military Sales to a wide array of allied nations including the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Kuwait, Lithuania, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom, with $104,103,634 in FMS funds obligated at award. The contracting activity is AFLCMC/EBUK located at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, under contract number FA8556-26-C-B003, awarded on June 23, 2026. The procurement was conducted as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique and proprietary nature of the AMRAAM system, with Raytheon being the only source capable of sustaining production and development due to decades of government-funded investment in tooling, technical data, and manufacturing infrastructure. The contract encompasses broad sustainment efforts including the production of AMRAAM variants, Captive Air Training Missiles, Special Test Vehicles, telemetry units, service life extension programs, and mitigation of diminishing manufacturing sources for critical electronic components. While detailed line-item pricing, packaging standards, inspection criteria, and formal contract clauses are not specified, oversight is provided through DCAA and DCMA audits, and cost reasonableness is evaluated under FAR Subpart 15.4. No competitive evaluation factors were applied, and no formal section K representations or Section D packaging requirements were included in the documentation, though the program relies on established logistics and technical data packages to maintain international interoperability and operational readiness across all customer platforms.
