AI Contract Overview

DLA Aviation is seeking a five-year Firm Fixed Price contract for the procurement of electrical cord assemblies (NSN 5995-00-610-5723) to support FA-18 series aircraft, including A-D, E/F, and G Growler models. This acquisition is being conducted as a sole source or limited competition under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as the required proprietary technical data is restricted, limiting the pool of capable providers to The Boeing Company, Astrocom Electronics, and DCX-CHOL Enterprises. The contract will be managed by the DLA Aviation office in Richmond, Virginia, with a total performance period of five years and no specified option periods. While the procurement follows FAR Part 15 negotiated acquisition procedures and requires certifiable cost and pricing data under the Truth in Negotiations Act, specific pricing, delivery schedules, and evaluation weights are not detailed in the current justification records. The primary objective is to ensure supply chain continuity and aircraft maintenance through the delivery of certified components that meet strict military form, fit, and function requirements.
