1680-01-599-1742- IRS SHELL ASSY,AIRC

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, under the Department of Defense, is pursuing a sole-source acquisition for the IRS SHELL ASSY, AIRC (NSN 1680-01-599-1742) through solicitation SPE4A726R0095, justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) due to the unavailability of technical data packages and the existence of only one responsible source, CAGE 9LYF8. Market research confirmed no other vendors could meet the form, fit, and function requirements, leading to a non-competitive process governed by FAR 6.302-1 and DFARS 206.303-2. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) with an estimated value not disclosed but subject to approval thresholds up to $150 million, and includes options for increased quantities and contract term extensions, though specific dollar limits for these options are not provided. The place of performance is Grassy Creek, Virginia, with the contracting office located in Richmond, VA. The Contracting Officer, Calvin Peterson, certified the justification on November 19, 2025, and the Competition Advocate, Yolanda Calvin Maupin, concurred on November 20, 2025. No Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical personnel are named, and no inspection criteria, quality standards, packaging specifications, or invoicing methods are detailed. The procurement requires a technical certification due to the potential value exceeding $15 million, and the only representation identified is the CAGE code; no socioeconomic certifications or additional affirmations are provided. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Contracting Opportunities by the deadline of November 20, 2025, and no formal evaluation factors, clauses, or detailed specifications were included in the documentation, indicating the focus remains strictly on the legal and procedural justification for sole-source award.
