The proposed contract action is for the supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Raytheon Company, 1100 Wilson Blvd Ste 2000, Arlington, Virginia 22209, under the authority of FAR 6.103-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

No other source has the technical qualifications and necessary resources to neither supply the requirement described herein, nor will any other supplies or services satisfy the Government's requirements. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government.
