Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Redstone Arsenal, AL, is conducting market research through this Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) to identify potential manufacturing and supply sources for the Kuwait PATRIOT Component Software Build (PCBS) 2.0 Upgrade. This effort seeks qualified sources for new upgrade hardware, software, services for production spares, and documentation for Kuwait’s Phased Array Tracking Radar for Intercept on Target (PATRIOT) Program. While the immediate requirement is anticipated to be a sole source award to Raytheon (CAGE: 05716) under FAR 6.302-1(a)(1), DLA is interested in all businesses for future competitive opportunities. Responses are due by May 26, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves providing new upgrade hardware, software, services inherent to production spares, and documentation. This will be placed on the existing Subsumable Contract (SPRRA2-26-D-0016) in support of the Integrated Fires Mission Command (IFMC) Project. Contractors must demonstrate capabilities in logistics, forecasting parts, long-lead parts procurement, material forecasting, obsolescence management, and final delivery of assets. Prequalification requirements apply for all potential sources.
