Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN intends to award a sole source contract to Raytheon Company, 2501 W. University Drive, McKinney, TX 75071. This effort will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

The Government is seeking information from companies mitigating the sole source basis listed above. The Government is seeking companies with the capabilities and facilities to repair, upgrade, support and provide MTS systems, spare parts and associated line items. Responses should include historical evidence of performing repair, upgrades, support, production, qualification and testing for the MTS hardware, software and associated items.
