Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) J&A Synopsis

The Air Force Material Command, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Long Range Systems Division, Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) Branch, AFLCMC/EBJM, intends to utilize a class justification and approval for follow-on sole source contracts under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, to Raytheon Missile Systems( RMS), Tucson, AZ, to procure the following efforts: purchase of present and future annual Miniature Air Launched Decoy-Jammer (MALD-J) Production Units Lots 9-14; parts obsolescence management, sustainment, aircraft integration, non-warranty repair, technical support, and development of any future variants based on the MALD design, provided such development does not alter the basic MALD vehicle design. The only known source that can satisfy these requirements is RMS, the original MALD producer and sustainment provider; because it solely possesses the critical vehicle information and qualified vehicle design to meet Government requirements and delivery schedules. The Air Force has no developmental funding to develop, demonstrate and test a new MALD system and does not own the Technical Data Package/Drawings to provide to other sources. This information serves as notice that the MALD program office will be using a class justification and approval. The AFLCMC Ombudsman is Ms. Jill Willingham, (937) 255-5472. For contractual issues, contact Andrea Matson, Contracting Officer (850) 882-0204 ( [email protected] ).
