It is the intent of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to award a contract on a sole-source basis to Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (LMMFC), P.O. Box 650003, Dallas, Texas, 75265-0003 to support the future sale of seven Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Batteries by providing long-lead items, obsolescence mitigation, tooling and test equipment, key personnel, line-requalification activities, initial training development, System Integration Lab (SIL) and testbeds, three-level maintenance concept, exportability and early engineering development. These Foreign Military Sale (FMS) requirements are in support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The proposed acquisition will be sole source to LMMFC, pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) and (iii), as the resulting follow-on contract is for the continued provision of highly-specialized supplies and services where it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost and unacceptable delays of the requirement. LMMFC performs the role of the THAAD System prime contractor and overall weapon system integrator. As the current prime contractor, LMMFC is the only responsible source that can provide the required technical expertise and experience without substantial duplication of cost and a learning curve. The costs already invested in the THAAD System could not reasonably be recovered through full and open competition without introducing unacceptable delays in the required support to meet this FMS customer's needs. No source other than LMMFC can provide the extensive technical expertise that is required to ensure accurate requirements definition, proper configuration management and adherence to interoperability standards including both U.S. and non-U.S. defensive systems. Any source other than LMMFC would have to acquire, in a very limited timeframe, the extensive knowledge and experience which LMMFC already possesses. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities may contact LMMFC, Mr. John Lindley (972) 603-0948. Point of contact for MDA is MaryFrances King, MDA/CTD (256) 313-9657.
