The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD intends to award a Fixed Price Incentive Firm Target (FPIF) contract to The Raytheon Company, Space and Airborne Systems (SAS), 2000 East El Segundo Blvd., El Segundo, California. This award will be on a sole source basis. The contract will provide for the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Lot III production of an anticipated quantity of eleven (11) Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ MB) shipsets (two pods per shipset), and associated support equipment, spares, non-recurring engineering, and data. The quantities identified herein are estimated and may be adjusted to reflect other such quantities as may be authorized and appropriated by Congress. This proposed contractual action will serve as the follow-on procurement to the NGJ-MB LRIP Lots I and II procured via contract N00019-21-C-0053. As the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the NGJ-MB system, Raytheon is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data required to successfully manufacture the system without causing unacceptable delays in meeting the Navy’s operational requirements. In addition, an award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, ‘Only One Responsible Source’, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This is not a commercial buy; therefore, the Government does not intend to use the provisions of FAR Part 12 for this acquisition. This synopsis is published for informational purposes only. (THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS). Interested parties, however, may identify their interest and capability by responding to the requirement. The Government will consider all capability information received prior to the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. There is no commitment by the Government to issue any solicitation, make an award, or to be responsible for any monies expended by any interested party before award of a contract for the efforts detailed above. Information provided herein in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract.

RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. INTRODUCTION The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD announces its intention to award a contract for the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Lot III of Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) shipsets. The NGJ-MB Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract (N00019-16-C-0002) and the NGJ-MB LRIP Lots I and II contract (N00019-21-C-0053) are currently being performed by The Raytheon Company, Space and Airborne Systems (SAS), 2000 East El Segundo Blvd., El Segundo, CA 90245-3507. ELIGIBILITY The Product Service Code (PSC) for this requirement is 5841. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 334511, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. All interested businesses are encouraged to respond. PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) program is an electronic attack system that will provide significantly improved Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) capabilities against advanced threats in the mid-band frequency range through enhanced agility and precision within jamming assignments, increased interoperability and expanded broadband capacity for greater threat coverage against a wide variety of radio frequency emitters. The Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the NGJ-MB system will be sufficient to provide robust jamming at standoff distances from Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) radar, communication, and data links. The NGJ-MB system will augment and then replace the legacy AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (fielded in 1971) on the EA-18G, providing significantly improved radar and communication jamming performance as well as improved reliability and maintainability. The NGJ-MB system will engage sophisticated IADS and information operations (i.e., other electronic threat systems) in multiple areas of responsibility and across all phases of military operations. Threat operators and systems adapt and exploit available frequency ranges, employing techniques and tactics designed to confuse or otherwise defeat friendly AEA capabilities. In order to defeat these continuously evolving enemy radio frequency threats, the NGJ-MB design must provide for sufficient EIRP to achieve threat system engagement stand-off distances, support increased capacity (number of jamming assignments) as a result of increased threat density, and support agile employment by operators as well as provide a flexible system architecture that can be upgraded quickly to meet new mission demands. ANTICIPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The anticipated period of performance will be from Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 through 2026. ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TYPE The contract type is anticipated to be Fixed Price Incentive Firm Target (FPIF). REQUIRED CAPABILITIES The effort may include the following: LRIP Lot III production of NGJ-MB shipsets, support equipment, spares, and associated data. INCUMBENT This is a follow-on requirement. The incumbent contractor is: The Raytheon Company, Space and Airborne Systems (SAS), 2000 East El Segundo Blvd., El Segundo, CA 90245-3507. SUBMITTAL INFORMATION Interested parties shall submit a brief capabilities statement package (no more than ten 8.5 x 11 inch pages, font no smaller than 12 point, 1.5 spaced) demonstrating their ability to provide the supplies listed herein. Documentation should be in bullet format. The capability statement package shall be sent by email to sarah.m.willis@navy.mil. Submissions must be received no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on 28 July 2021. Questions or comments regarding this notice may be addressed to Sarah Willis at sarah.m.willis@navy.mil. All responses shall include Company Name, Company Address, Company Business Size, and Points-of-Contact (POC) including name, phone number, fax number, and email address.
