BATTERY, STORAGE : 6140

The contract pertains to the sole-source procurement of 1,701 storage batteries (NSN 6140-01-400-2901) for the C-5 Galaxy aircraft from ACME AEROSPACE, INC. (CAGE 6HAR8), with an option to acquire an additional 1,701 units, bringing the potential total quantity to 3,402. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and governed by AMSC D, indicating that technical data necessary for competitive sourcing is unavailable or not describable, making ACME the only approved supplier capable of providing form, fit, and functionally interchangeable replacement parts. The contract type is Firm-Fixed Price, awarded under Simplified Acquisition Procedures per FAR 12.201-1, with pricing based on historical data from a prior purchase at $1,821.61 per unit, though no official current unit price or total contract value is formally specified. Performance is required in Columbus, Ohio, where the contracting activity, DLA Weapons Support, is located, and acceptance is expected to be conducted by the Government. No evaluation factors, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or delivery schedules are defined beyond the quantity and interchangeability requirements, as the non-competitive nature of the procurement eliminates the need for technical assessment or competitive bidding. The acquisition relies on government certification of fair and reasonable pricing under FAR 15.403-3 and utilizes AMC 3 authority for direct acquisition from the manufacturer on a second or subsequent occasion. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status information from the offeror are included in the documentation, and no additional special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or OCI clauses are referenced. The solicitation was posted on SAM.gov and the DLA Internet Bid Board System with a posted date of May 27, 2026, and no submission deadline or proposal format details are provided, consistent with the simplified acquisition approach.
