ACCESSORY PORT MANI

The contract pertains to the sole-source procurement of an Accessory Port Manipulator, Turret (NSN 1385-01-676-6360) from Teledyne FLIR (CAGE 7KJ39) under FAR 6.103-1, due to the item’s unique integration requirements with the Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV) system and the absence of competitive specifications. The acquisition is classified as a commercial item under FAR 2.101 and follows FAR Part 12 procedures, relying on existing commercial pricing, GSA Schedule availability, and commercial market data to establish reasonableness. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity agreement with no option periods, and delivery of ten units is required, though no specific delivery window, place of delivery, or contract value has been determined. Packaging and marking must comply strictly with MIL-STD-129, and inspection and acceptance authority rests with the Government, with possible inspection at origin or destination, though FOB Destination is preferred. Compliance with multiple FAR clauses is required, including product verification testing, material inspection, prohibition of hazardous materials disposal, U.S. component reporting, and responsibility for supplies, all of which are referenced but not fully completed in the solicitation forms. The procurement process was conducted through a market survey with no vendor responses, supporting the justification for other-than-full-and-open competition, and the contractor must affirm its commercial status and provide evidence of prior sales while noting no socioeconomic certifications were claimed. The contracting office is DLA Land & Maritime in Albany, GA, with Cerita Sellers listed as the primary point of contact, and delivery is expected within the United States, though no specific location is identified.
