B -- Systems Engineering Technical Support for the TWS Baseline Changes, Simulations and Modeling, SW Support, AUR Production, Technical, and Field Service

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award additional Fiscal Year (FY) 06 Systems Engineering Technical Support for the Tomahawk Weapons System (TWS) Baseline Changes, Simulations and Modeling, Software (SW) Support, All Up Round (AUR) Production, Technical, and Field Service as a modification to Contract Number N00019-04-C-0569. NAVAIR intends to award this effort to Raytheon Company, P.O. Box 11337, Tucson, Arizona 85734-1337. Raytheon is the only company capable of performing this effort. Since 1994, Raytheon has been the sole developer, designer and manufacturer for the Tomahawk AUR. Raytheon solely possesses the current configuration and manufacturing data for the Tomahawk AUR missile. Raytheon currently manages the key requirements, interface, integration, and verification documents for the Tomahawk Weapons System. Because a detailed knowledge and expertise of the Tomahawk missile is required to perform Systems Engineering Technical Support tasks, Raytheon is the only source capable of accomplishing this requirement in the required timeframe and without duplication of costs.
