This is a sole source justification for the BQM-177A Subsonic Aerial Target System (SSAT) program. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is authorizing actions with Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems (KUAS) to support the SSAT program. This includes a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for supplies, services, and support; an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for software; and Full Rate Production (FRP) Lots 4 through 7. These actions will support the US Navy, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and other customers. KUAS is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the BQM-177A SSAT system and is the only known contractor with the necessary knowledge and rights to meet government requirements. Award to any other source would result in unacceptable duplication of cost. The period of performance for the BOA and software IDIQ is planned for five years through Q4 FY26. Estimated delivery dates for FRP 47 are through FY27.
This procurement is being conducted on a sole source basis, with no other sources identified as capable of meeting the agency's requirements.
