59--RELAY,LANTERN

This acquisition is a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-quantity contract awarded to Jay Moulding Corp. (CAGE 9F443) under solicitation SPE7MX26R00370001 for the procurement of Relay, Lantern (NSN 5945016674991) to support U.S. Navy platforms including T-AKE, LCS, and BLUE RIDGE classes. The contract was issued as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, with full and open competition excluded due to technical exclusivity governed by AMSC C, which restricts manufacturing knowledge and engineering source approval to only two approved sources—Jay Moulding Corp. and U.S. Pioneer, LLC. Although the contract structure allows for a five-year performance period consisting of a three-year base and two option years, the initial award is for one year with a contract number of SPE7MX-26-D-0040. The solicitation was conducted under FAR Part 15, resulting in a single offer submission, which triggered a price analysis under FAR 15.403-4 to validate reasonableness. The delivery location is Cohoes, New York, with performance managed by DLA Weapons Support in Columbus, Ohio. The contract incorporates the DLAD Procurement Note L04, permitting future consideration of alternate products under specific evaluation conditions. No detailed pricing, quantities, or delivery schedules are disclosed, and no specific packaging, marking, inspection standards, or invoicing protocols are defined beyond the use of NSN and CAGE codes for identification. The contracting officer, Brandy Warner, holds sole responsibility for oversight, while no contracted technical representative is identified. The acquisition maintains strict control over proprietary technical data and manufacturing processes, with no requirement for cost data, subcontracting plans, or security clearances, and no socioeconomic certifications beyond the small business status are indicated.
