## Description

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD announces its intention to procure engineering and technical support for AN/APG-65 and AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars installed on F/A-18C/D/E/F aircraft at CONUS and OCONUS locations. The Contractor shall provide on-site representatives with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to support the maintenance, reliability, and readiness of the AESA Radar.

The procurement is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority 10 USC 2304(C)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” As the contractor for AN/APG-65 and AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars, Raytheon has the manufacturing knowledge, experience, and technical data required to fulfill this requirement within the time required.

Responsible sources may submit a Statement of Capability and Qualifications to the Contract Specialist listed demonstrating their ability to perform the Government's requirement and shall provide proof of approved facility and personnel clearances necessary to meet the delivery schedule required within 15 days from the publication date of this announcement.

The Government will utilize the capability statements received solely to confirm the sole source acquisition approach or to reconsider a competitive procurement. A determination not to compete this requirement is solely within the discretion of the United States Government. For small business or subcontracting opportunities, contact Raytheon.
