This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJA) for the use of other than full and open competition for the Tomahawk cruise missile program. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) authorizes the issuance of cost and fixed-price type orders on a sole source basis under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) **** with Raytheon Missiles Defense (RMD) of Tucson, Arizona. This authorization is for supplies and services for the Tomahawk cruise missile program for U. S. Navy, other services, and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The authority to act under this CJA expires on August 31, 2025. The scope of work includes development, production, reliability, sustainment, and disposal of the tactical Tomahawk missile systems and their components. Efforts will encompass engineering, systems engineering, analyses, studies, prototyping, model-based system engineering, requirements analysis, test, logistics, obsolescence management, cost reduction initiatives, risk reduction activities, and external program support. Specific activities include engineering and logistics for operational readiness, system configuration, designs, prototyping, system safety, software, firmware, hardware, weapon system mass properties, engineering change proposals, interoperability, system performance, training, support equipment, environmental requirements, integration, compatibility, installation, energetics, power/propulsion, service life extension, special tooling and test equipment, logistics support plans, maintenance plans, test program support, depot and recertification, and technical data packages. NAVAIR anticipates acquiring supplies and services for engineering, systems engineering, and logistics related to operational readiness and reliability, system configuration, designs, prototyping, system safety, software, firmware, and/or related hardware. This includes weapon system mass properties, engineering change proposals, interoperability, system performance, training, support equipment, environmental requirements, integration, compatibility, and installation of shipboard and/or air components and interfaces. Energetics, power/propulsion, service life extension, special tooling and test equipment, logistics support plans, supportability due to engineering changes, maintenance plans, test program support, depot and recertification, and logistics support analysis data are also included, along with the development or creation of technical data packages (TDPs). The CJA also covers modification and support for overall system and system interface, test and integration efforts, including operational test events or quick reaction assessments. Design, fabrication, assembly, testing, and results verification of prototypes or models for engineering studies or analyses are included. System security engineering, obsolescence of key hardware components, firmware, and computer software configuration items are also part of the scope. Technical, engineering, investigations, studies, maintenance, and documentation support ancillary to operational test launches, functional ground tests, production acceptance testing, and unique test support activities for non-typical flight tests are covered. Services, support, analysis studies, and material necessary to repair, inspect, modify, and/or return government property to ready-for-issue condition are included, as well as support for emerging new capabilities. Algorithm development for maritime strike Tomahawk (MST) emerging requirements, including targets, engagement logic parameters, and kill chain improvements, or releases of improved software algorithms are also within scope. Sparing studies, failure reporting, analysis and corrective action system, and failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis are covered. Test data analysis and software code fixes are included. Component life studies, age limitations, qualifications, and service life extensions of assemblies, components, or mission unique items are also part o
