Procurement of the following AN/TPY-2 Radar Hardware: Electronic Equipment Unit (EEU) Modification Kit, Transmit/Receive Integrated Microwave Modules (T/RIMMs), and Options

It is the intent of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to issue a sole source solicitation to Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (Raytheon), 225 Presidential Way, Woburn, MA, 01801-1060, to manufacture and deliver the following hardware related to the AN/TPY-2 radar: one Electronic Equipment Unit (EEU) Modification (Mod) Kit, and up to 3,168 Transmit/Receive Integrated Microwave Modules (T/RIMMs). Options will also be included as follows: Technical Data Package for Prime Power Unit (PPU) and Cooling Equipment Unit (CEU); two additional EEU Mod Kits; one CEU Simulator; one PPU; spares package for Antenna Equipment Unit (AEU), EEU and PPU; and one PPU Load Bank. The delivery dates for the EEU Mod kit and T/RIMMs are 1QFY16 and 4QFY16 respectively. The proposed contract modification will be executed on a sole source basis to Raytheon IDS pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), as the resulting contract modification is for highly specialized supplies and services where it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition or unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Agency's requirements. To date, Raytheon has developed and manufactured eight AN/TPY-2 radars (with four more domestic radars and two foreign military sales radars currently in production) as: primary subcontractor for radar production on the THAAD Development Contract (DASG60-00-C-0072); prime sole-source contractor on the BMDS Radar Contract (HQ0006-03-C-0047); prime sole-source contractor on the AN/TPY-2 Radar Production Contract (HQ0147-12-C-0006); and prime sole-source contractor on the United Arab Emirates Foreign Military Sales AN/TPY-2 Radar Contract (HQ0147-12-C-0005). No other company has manufactured the AN/TPY-2 radar or integrated the radar for operations in either the forward-based or THAAD weapon system configurations. Award to any source other than Raytheon would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the MDA's delivery requirements. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities may contact the Raytheon Contract Manager, Mr. Mark Anderson, at 339-645-6017. Point of contact for the MDA is Mr. Ramin Ghadimi, Procuring Contracting Officer, at 256-313-9791. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services that the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit, within 15 days after publication of this notice, a capability statement, proposal, or quotation that shall be considered by MDA. A determination not to compete this proposed contract, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
