59--WIRING HARNESS,BRAN

The contract pertains to the sole-source procurement of six units of a Wiring Harness, Branched (NSN 5995-01-723-1477) for use in F/A-18 aircraft systems, awarded exclusively to Raytheon Company under CAGE code 4U884 due to its unique engineering control and non-transferable technical data, as mandated by AMSC C requirements. This acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 and DFARS PGI 217.7506, as no other sources can meet the stringent form, fit, and functional interchangeability standards necessary for mission-critical avionics sustainment. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed price with no options for additional quantities, and while the solicitation was posted on SAM.gov on May 26, 2026, and will remain open for 30 days on the DLA Internet Bid Board System, no unit or total contract value is specified in the documentation, indicating the pricing phase remains uncompleted. Performance and delivery are associated with the contracting office in Columbus, Ohio, though the exact delivery location and FOB terms are not detailed. Technical certification is required, and all submissions must adhere to source approval protocols, with alternate offers permissible under DLAD Procurement Note L04 for future procurements. The contracting officer is Brian Maxwell, and all certifications supporting the sole-source justification were formally signed and verified by the product specialist on September 23, 2025. No socioeconomic classifications, payment details, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or specific packaging and marking standards are provided, and while the acquisition is governed by standard defense logistics practices, explicit compliance with MIL-STDs or additional administrative requirements are not outlined in the available information.
