Award Announcement for THAAD Lot 9/10 Interceptors, One Shot Devices   2

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) hereby issues solicitation HQ0147-16-R-0024 for the procurement of Lot 9 and Lot 10 THAAD Interceptors. This consists of a range of 18-58 interceptors. The THAAD Interceptor is a key subsystem of the THAAD Weapon System. The THAAD Weapon System provides Combatant Commanders with a rapidly-deployable ground-based missile defense system that deepens, extends and complements the Ballistic Missile Defense System. THAAD provides unique and cost-effective capabilities to defend against short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, provide high firepower and sustainability for resistance to simultaneous attack by multiple tactical ballistic missiles, endo and exoatmospheric intercept capability, and a high lethality with proven hit-to-kill. THAAD is a highly-mobile and transportable weapon system and is interoperable with other Ballistic Missile Defense systems.

Authority permitting Other than Full and Open Competition is FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." LMMFC is the only source that can successfully satisfy the Government's requirement for continued production of the THAAD Weapon System without substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays.
