- Description
- The Missile Defense Agency has a requirement for an upgrade to the Early Warning Radar (EWR) located at Thule Air Base (AB), Greenland. This upgrade shall retain commonality with the ongoing upgrades to the EWRs located at Beale Air Force Base, CA and RAF Fylingdales, United Kingdom. Under this effort, the contractor is required to produce hardware and software upgrade kits, design and modify the Thule EWR facility to accomplish the hardware and software EWR upgrades, adapt the upgraded EWR baseline for Thule deployment (i.e., accommodate site specific issues), install the hardware and software upgrade kits, and provide support to completion of force development evaluation of the upgraded Thule AB EWR into the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system. MDA intends to award a contract to the Raytheon Corporation for this effort. MDA intends this contract to be firm-fixed-price for the upgraded hardware, and cost-plus-award-fee for the software and facility upgrades. This contract award to the Raytheon Corporation will be under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1-(a) (ii): only one responsible source. Raytheon, the radar manufacturer and developer of the upgrades of the EWRs at Beale and Fylingdales, is the only company that can provide the required upgrade to meet a 2008 deployment schedule without a significant duplication of cost to the Government. An award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in deploying additional capabilities to the radar at Thule AB and require a significant duplication of costs while another contractor establishes the facilities and expertise to accomplish the upgrade. A Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition is in process.
