    JA-24-Belv-561_3GEN FLIR LRIP B-KIT Ceiling Increase and PoP Ext_22Aug_Redacted.pdf
    The document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the modification of the Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract with Raytheon Company for the Third Generation Forward Looking Infrared (3GEN FLIR) B-Kit. The U.S. Army seeks to extend the contract's Period of Performance (POP) from 48 to 72 months and increase the contract ceiling to procure additional hardware and engineering services. According to 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A), this modification is justified as only Raytheon can satisfy the agency's requirements without significant cost duplication. The Army plans to procure up to 250 additional B-Kits, indicating ongoing demand. Concerns about supply chain continuity prompted this action, ensuring timely delivery to meet requirements without delays that could arise from establishing an alternate vendor. Market research confirms Raytheon as the only fully qualified vendor capable of producing the B-Kits necessary for forthcoming military programs. The document concludes with a certification of the justification's validity and approval of the proposed contract modification based on the outlined justifications and projected needs.
