The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) plans to establish a 5-year pricing contract for 15 parts supporting the Patriot Missile System, sole-sourced to Raytheon Company as the original equipment manufacturer. The procurement will be added to an existing DLA-Raytheon subsumable contract, with no other known sources due to proprietary requirements. Performance will involve design, build, supply, inventory management, forecasting, distribution, storage, reliability improvements, and engineering maintenance. All offerors must meet prequalification requirements, and interested firms should seek source approval through the U.S. Army’s engineering authority. The solicitation will be published on SAM.GOV, and foreign firms must process requests through their embassies due to export restrictions.
