Title:

F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office Spectrum Analyzer Hardware Integration and Purchase to the United States Reprogramming Laboratory– Synopsis

Description(s):

The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO), Arlington, Virginia has concluded their market research and intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a sole-source Cost Reimbursement contract under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation, FAR 6.302-1 “Only One Responsible Source And No Other Supplies Or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements”, to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, Inc. (LM), CAGE: 81755. The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541512, with a small business size standard of $34 million.

The anticipated award will be a modification to the contract N0001923F0088. The F-35 JPO’s Spectrum Analyzer Integration effort is intended to upgrade the current spectrum analyzer at the United States Reprograming Laboratory (USRL). After the integration of this device, the USRL will have an increased ability to test the hardware that is vital for the capabilities developed and delivered by the laboratory. LM will conduct configuration management for the laboratory they designed to ensure proper documentation and integration work. Furthermore, they have drawings and additional documentation that will be performed in order to maintain compliance with best practices.

LM is the original designer and developer of the USRL, and is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical expertise on the laboratory’s configuration and requirements. Due to the intricacies within Mission Data Reprogramming enterprise as well as the knowledge of F-35 sensor integration, LM Aero is the only firm with the requisite knowledge and experience to continue the development of software for the reprogramming environments.
