Justification and Appoval for BCS-F ICS Extension

The Battle Control System - Fixed (BCS-F) program office modified the existing BCS-F contract (FA8722-10-C-0001) to provide continued sustainment support to the BCS-F system for a period of three months until the follow-on Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) contract is awarded. This Justification and Approval (J&A) assesses that only Thales-Raytheon Systems has the specialized capabilities and qualifications to deliver the required repairs/corrections, modifications, and configuration updates to the BCS-F hardware, design documentation, training curriculum, and technical data to maintain a critical 99.98% availability and that award to any other source for ICS efforts will result in a substantial duplication of cost not expected to be recovered through competition as well as unacceptable delays in fulfilling critical agency requirements. This J&A is being posted in accordance with FAR 6.305(a).
