Spares/On Board Repair Parts for AN-AQS20A

The Government plans to award a sole source contract modification to Raytheon Company, Integrated Defense Systems (IDS), for the procurement of spares and onboard repair parts for the AN-AQS20A Mine Detection Sonar. This contract modification falls under Contract N00024-05-C-6324 and is exclusive because Raytheon IDS is the sole designer, developer, and integrator of the AN-AQS20A Sonar System’s software and hardware. Their unique knowledge and expertise in the system's design and operational requirements position them as the only capable source to provide these critical supplies and services efficiently and effectively, ensuring a fully integrated and seamless system. The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense through the DCMA Radars & Sensors office based in Moorestown, NJ. The Government will not open the solicitation to competitive proposals and intends to negotiate exclusively with Raytheon IDS. Interested companies seeking subcontracting opportunities are encouraged to contact Raytheon IDS directly. The contract relates to NAICS code 334511, covering electronic instrument manufacturing, highlighting the specialized technical nature of the acquisition. The DCMA Contract Administrator overseeing the process is Erin Eslinger, who can be contacted for further information regarding this sole source action.
