The acquisition is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, restricted exclusively to small business concerns as defined by the Small Business Administration, with a NAICS code of 332991. The contract has a five-year base period with no options for extension or increased quantities, and delivers 2,240 units under FOB Destination terms with a delivery timeframe of 290 days after receipt of order. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at the destination, and the Government retains sole authority for acceptance. The procurement is sole-source, justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to limited manufacturing capability, with only two approved suppliers authorized: McGill Manufacturing Company Inc (CAGE 92653) and Accurate Bushing Company (CAGE 07484). The item is designated as Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) under AMSC Z, yet retains an AMSC C classification, requiring engineering source approval to ensure part quality and consistency, indicating that despite its COTS designation, formal source control and technical documentation restrictions remain in place due to insufficient technical data rights available to the Government to enable broader competition. No specific pricing data is provided, and payment administration is managed through DLA Aviation out of Richmond, VA, with no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative identified. The contract incorporates Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements under the DODAAC SPE4A6 designation and enforces compliance with standard military traceability using NSN and CAGE codes, with implied adherence to MIL-STD-2175 via the AMSC K reference for casting classification, though explicit packaging, preservation, marking, or barcoding standards are not detailed.
