The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), supporting the Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (PEO C4I), intends to award a sole-source modification to contract N00039-25-D-2002. This modification is for the procurement of engineering services to upgrade the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) in order to support its interoperability with the U.S. Space Force (USSF) new Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) satellite constellation. This action is pursued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1, as implemented under Class Deviation 2026-O0017, as only one responsible source can satisfy the agency requirements. The prime contractor for this contract is Raytheon Company (RTX), managed by Collins Aerospace, located at 1001 Boston Post Rd E, Marlborough, MA 01752-3770.

The NMT program is the system of record for Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite communications for Naval and international partner forces. It is a multiband capable SATCOM terminal, which contains Communications Group (CG) and Antenna Group (AG) sub-systems. Its design is comprised of Ship, Submarine, Shore, and International Partner Variants (IPV) and is primarily used on United States Navy (USN) ships, submarines, and shore sites for AEHF SATCOM capability. The subject modification will increase the contract ceiling by $352.39 million for the procurement of engineering services to upgrade the NMT for ESS interoperability, including hardware and software upgrades. It also includes the procurement of associated hardware resulting from these efforts. As the original designer, developer, and manufacturer of the NMT, Raytheon is the only source with the required production technology and engineering capabilities to provide software and hardware changes to achieve full NSA certification for ESS requirements. The authority for this action is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1, as implemented under Class Deviation 2026-O0017, Only One Responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
