SUU-63 Pylons-1005

This contract modification provided procurement funding for delivery order N00019-21-F-0058 under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-20-G-0007 to the Raytheon Company (Raytheon) to incorporate previously approved Engineering Change Proposals to an additional quantity of 20 lower lot Suspension Under Wing Unit (SUU)-63 Pylons (PN 74G730101-1003) in order to meet upper lot aircraft requirements (PN74G730101-1041). This course of action upgrades pylons of differing variants to a pylon that will be able to support fleet needs and requirements thus increasing readiness and availability. These upgrades will bring SUU-63 pylons up to current aircraft configuration requirements with the application of Low Observable (LO) coating and improved wiring. Raytheon shall also assess the quality of the SUU-63 pylons received and correct non-conforming ones to the extend necessary to execute the required upgrades.

The contract type for this sole source contract action is Firm-Fixed-Price. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B), the items being procured are available only from the original source as in the case of a follow-on contract, it is likely that award to another source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements.
