Cable Assembly

The contract pertains to the procurement of 1,490 units of a specialized Cable Assembly identified by NSN 6150-01-226-2057 under an Indefinite Delivery Contract with a five-year base period and potential options for increased quantity or term extension. This acquisition is justified as a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the unavailability of technical data and the absence of alternative suppliers capable of meeting the stringent military-grade requirements. The only approved sources are DCX-Chol Enterprises (CAGE 27456) and General Cables Tech (CAGE 6V273), with restrictions imposed by AMSC codes that mandate the use of specialized test and inspection facilities (AMSC N), government-controlled technical data rights (AMSC P/Q/R), and high-reliability manufacturing standards (AMSC V). The contract is being administered by DLA Aviation under DLA-FAKB, located in Richmond, VA, with Cassandra Cooper listed as the primary point of contact. No pricing details are provided in the documentation, with all unit prices, extended values, and option dollar amounts left blank, indicating that financial terms are to be determined prior to award. The place of performance is Richmond, VA, and while delivery and inspection locations are not specified, acceptance responsibilities remain with the Government. The contract involves Controlled Unclassified Information and military-sensitive technology, necessitating appropriate handling controls, though specific CUI categories and clearance levels are not defined. No packaging, preservation, or marking requirements are detailed, nor are inspection criteria, evaluation factors, or invoicing methods specified. The justification documentation has been certified by the contracting officer and technical personnel in accordance with FAR 6.303-2, with approval thresholds ranging from the Contracting Officer for amounts under $900,000 to the Head of Contracting Activity for values up to $150 million. Electronic submissions are required through beta.SAM.gov and DIBBS, though no formal proposal format, deadlines, or file type requirements are outlined.
