egotiate a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Job Order 0003 made under the five year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0016422GJQ65 to Raytheon Company (Cage Code - 96214) on a sole source basis for engineering services, including low value material and repair of repairables that support life cycle sustainment of the Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS) used on various Navy, Army, Air Force and Special Operational Forces platforms. The proposed contract action is a follow on job order for services for which the Government intends to be awarded in quarter four of fiscal year 2025 under FAR Part 16. The contemplated contract action will be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1: Only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. Raytheon Company, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), is the only company with the requisite expertise, knowledge, experience, and facilities necessary to meet these requirements without unacceptable delays. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of technical data package to support competition of repair and sustainment of the MTS. Any other source would result in duplication of costs to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s requirements. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Raytheon Company directly. All responsible sources may submit capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
