24K Environmental Control Unit (ECU) Sole Source to Raytheon

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) intends to procure 206 Environmental Control Units (ECUs) under solicitation number SPRRA2-26-R-0034 to support the Patriot Missile System’s Integrated Fires Mission Command (IFMC) program managed by the Program Executive Office for Missiles & Space. These units consist of two configurations distinguished by part numbers and color: 75 units of 2714M1000-90 (Green) and 161 units of 2714M1000-110 (Tan). The procurement will be conducted as a sole-source acquisition limited to Raytheon (CAGE Code 05716), as the ECU components and associated technical data are proprietary and not economically or practically obtainable from multiple sources. This acquisition will be awarded under the existing indefinite delivery requirements contract SPRRA225D0016, with production and delivery performance located in Andover, Massachusetts. The scope encompasses the entire manufacturing lifecycle, including supply chain management, long-lead item procurement, obsolescence management, logistics, engineering support, and final delivery. Responses to this sources sought synopsis are requested by December 9, 2025, with communications directed to the contracting office at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, specifically through the designated contract specialist. While this is a market research effort and not a formal solicitation, firms interested in future participation are encouraged to identify themselves and seek source approval via the provided contact points. The acquisition follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision 6.302-1(a)(1) for sole-source justification due to the limited number of responsible sources. No pricing, definitive award criteria, or contract clauses have been specified at this stage, and no packaging, inspection, invoicing, or acceptance terms are detailed. The government also encourages potential teaming arrangements with small businesses, including entities certified under 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business programs, to promote subcontracting opportunities despite the proprietary nature of this effort.
