58 -- MBMMR COMSEC Obsolecent ECP

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with the Raytheon Company of Ft. Wayne, IN to implement a COMSEC obsolescence Engineering Change for the SOF Multi-band, Multi-mission Radio (MBMMR), nomenclatured as the AN/PSC-5D. The legacy encryption module, HERMES, used in the production of the MBMMR is no longer being produced by General Dynamics Decisions Systems or the National Security Agency (NSA). Due to the proprietary design of the MBMMR only Raytheon Systems Company is being considered for award. This is not a request for proposal or request for information from industry.
