    FSSO UCA JA_Redacted 10 01 2024.pdf
    The Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal seeks approval for an Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA) modification to an existing contract with Raytheon Technologies, aimed at providing Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for the HAWK Missile System. This effort is critical due to the anticipated lack of competition, as the HAWK system has been out of the US Army inventory for 25 years, limiting potential contractors. The contract modification will enhance support services, including technical assistance and maintenance for HAWK systems, with activities set to commence on September 30, 2024, and extend until May 28, 2027. A second Sources Sought/RFI will be issued to gauge interest from potential bidders; however, prior inquiries indicated minimal response. Market research conducted confirmed Raytheon Technologies as the only viable provider due to their unique expertise and proprietary rights. The funding will derive from Foreign Military Sales (FMS). This contract modification is essential to prevent delays in support for HAWK operations, highlighting the complex challenges of sourcing specialized military service providers in a niche market. Overall, the document underscores the importance of maintaining operational efficiency and technical support for legacy defense systems.
