53--CLAMP,LOOP

The contract is for the sole-source procurement of 910 units of a CLAMP, LOOP (NSN 5340-014183430) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, justified by the government’s lack of technical data rights and the impracticality of reverse engineering, as indicated by the AMSC R designation. The only approved source is Transdigm Inc. (CAGE 83930), following a market survey that yielded no viable alternative suppliers, and this acquisition qualifies as AMC 3, representing a repeat purchase directly from the original manufacturer. The contract includes a 100% option for an additional 910 units, with an estimated maximum value of $900,000, though no unit pricing or extended cost details are provided. Performance is to be delivered to Columbus, Ohio, where the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime—Weapons Support office is located, and the item must be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with the existing weapon system component. The contract type is firm-fixed price, and while price analysis will be conducted to ensure fairness and reasonableness, certified cost or pricing data may be requested if necessary. No specific inspection criteria, packaging standards, marking requirements, bar-coding specifications, or MIL-STD references are detailed in the documentation, though compliance with DLA and DoD procurement policies is implied. The contracting officer is identified by signature and date of February 5, 2026, but no COR, COTR, payment details, invoicing instructions, or accounting data are provided. The solicitation was posted on SAM.gov on May 12, 2026, and while submission deadlines and proposal formats are not specified, the process followed prior market research via SAM.gov and the DLA Internet Bid Board System.
