Pursuant to the F-35 Lightning Il JSF Acquisition Strategy, approved on 20 January 2016 by the Acting Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics), competition for the type of work to be performed under the LRIP and Full Rate Production (FRP) contracts is not considered practical. The Government has spent the past fifteen years and has committed approximately REDACTED on the SDD contract to develop and qualify the F-35 aircraft. Delaying the Lots 12-14 procurement to identify, develop, and qualify another source would negatively impact the operational capabilities of the USAF, USMC, and USN, as well as the non-U.S. DoD Participants in the F-35 Program.
