This is official notification that the Armament Directorate (EB), Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) Program Office intends to solicit and award a modification to a sole source contract and/or separate contract(s) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 to Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control/Integrated Systems, 5600 West Sand Lake Road, Orlando FL 32819. This acquisition will be an increase in quantity to the 5-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), using a combination of Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF), Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) and Firm Fixed Price (FFP) CLINs awarded on 13 Jun 2022. The Period of Performance is 13 Jun 2022 through 14 Jun 2027. Lockheed Martin is the current producer and sustainment provider for the JASSM, LRASM (Air Force Inventory) and JASSM-ER weapon systems and is the only known company that has detailed knowledge necessary to provide the required JASSM/ LRASM (Air Force Inventory)/JASSM-ER specific support. No Government owned technical data package exists to provide to other companies. Therefore, the Government is unable to provide Government property/Government special tooling/special test equipment/technical data packages to any prospective new source. Fulfillment of the supplies/services listed above requires substantial initial investment and an extended period of preparation for manufacture. Anticipated award of this contract modification is on or about 21 March 2025. The scope of this IDIQ contract incorporates life cycle support of the JASSM, LRASM (Air Force Inventory) and JASSM-ER weapon system. This lifecycle support includes all efforts related to JASSM, LRASM (Air Force Inventory), JASSM ER and any JASSM variant in the areas of system upgrade, integration, production, sustainment, management and logistical support for US Government systems and foreign government platforms.
