Tomahawk Cruise Missiles Recertification Operations Lot 5-6

The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a sole-source Firm Fixed Price modification to Raytheon Company under Contract N0001925C0071 for the recertification and modernization of Tomahawk Cruise Missiles, covering Lots 5 and 6, with work extending through December 31, 2030. The procurement was justified under Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 due to Raytheon’s exclusive ownership of the Level III Technical Data Package necessary for recertification, proprietary tooling, and specialized test equipment that cannot be replicated or accessed by other sources without prohibitive costs and risks. The primary performance location is Raytheon’s facility in Tucson, Arizona, where missile overhaul, testing, refurbishment of launching systems, and integration of modernized components—including Maritime Strike Tomahawk, Joint Multiple-Effects Warhead System, and GPS M-Code upgrades—are conducted, while oversight and acceptance occur at NAVAIR’s headquarters in Patuxent River, Maryland. The contract supports fleet sustainment through recertified missiles, rotable pool assets, software updates, logistics support, obsolescence management, and training, with funding authorized under FY24–FY28 for initial activities and extending through FY30 for full program execution. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing data, or solicitation requirements apply due to the non-competitive nature of the award, which waives standard FAR solicitation clauses and excludes typical subcontracting or small business preferences. Packaging, inspection, and acceptance standards are implicitly governed by military logistics protocols and Raytheon’s controlled technical documentation, though no specific MIL-STDs or remittance details are provided. The Class Justification and Approval No. 24-0076, approved by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition, remains the sole formal authorization enabling this sole-source action, with no alternatives or future competitions anticipated unless a new qualified source emerges.
