History: Since 1994, Raytheon has been the sole developer, designer, and manufacturer for the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile. Raytheon solely possesses the current configuration and manufacturing data for the Tomahawk Block IV AUR missile, the seeker suite, and the installation of the seeker suites into the Block IV and V missiles during recertification in order to deliver a Block Va TACTOM AUR. They are the only source capable of performing the required integration and testing. Raytheon maintains and controls both the Level III technical data package (TDP) and the manufacturing documentation for the Block IV AUR as well as the Level III TDP for the Seeker Kit, and the TDP for the Block Va AUR. Because a detailed knowledge and expertise of the Tomahawk Block IV, V, & Va AUR missile is required to conduct tasking under this contract, Raytheon is the only known source capable of accomplishing this requirement in the required timeframe and without duplication of costs. The data associated with the Tomahawk missile is export controlled and is not available to foreign sources or representatives. Responsible parties may submit capability statements which shall be considered. This is not a request for proposals.

NOTE: The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the Navy. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
