AN/TPY-2 Radar Production (Radar #11)

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: one AN/TPY-2 radar with all its components, including spares; four forward-based Prime Power Units (PPUs) with associated spares; and up to 3,168 Transmit/Receive Integrated Microwave Modules (TRIMMs). Delivery requirements are: not later than 1QFY16 for the radar; not later than 1QFY15for the four PPUs; and not later than 4QFY15 for the TRIMMs. The proposed acquisition will be sole sourced to Raytheon pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), as the resulting contract is for highly specialized supplies and services where it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays. To date, Raytheon has developed and manufactured seven AN/TPY-2 radars (with three 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, Ms. Karen Quimby, at 339-645-1016. Point of contact for the MDA is Mr. Ritchie Vinson, Procuring Contracting Officer, at 256-450-4794.
