The U.S. Government proposes to acquire Bahrain Critical Spares and Frequency Converters in support of the Patriot Missile System. This is a sole-source acquisition restricted to Raytheon under specific federal regulations, as the items can only be acquired from a limited number of responsible sources. The items will be placed on an existing indefinite delivery requirements contract. Firms that can produce the required items are encouraged to identify themselves and seek source approval for future opportunities. Foreign firms must process all requests for the solicitation through their respective embassies.

This is a market research notice, not an active solicitation, to identify potential sources for Bahrain Critical Spares and Frequency Converters for the Patriot Missile System. The work is intended to support the Defense Logistics Agency at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The government currently contemplates awarding this as a sole-source contract to Raytheon. Interested businesses that can manufacture these items are encouraged to identify themselves and seek source approval to compete for possible future opportunities. The contractor will be responsible for all engineering, supply chain, and production costs.
