Coupling, Shaft, Flex

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is pursuing a sole-source procurement of 32 units of a Coupling, Shaft, Flex (NSN 3010-01-4322688) under solicitation SPE7L126R0083, with the sole approved source being REGAL BELOIT AMERICA, INC. (CAGE 6TTZ6). This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1 and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing the lack of competitive sources due to the unique technical requirements of the part, which must be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with existing components on the M88A1 Recovery Vehicle. Market research conducted via a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov yielded no qualified alternatives, and technical data necessary to enable competition is neither available nor economically obtainable. The contract type is Firm-Fixed Price, with delivery terms specified as F.O.B. origin, and the place of performance is Columbus, Ohio. The solicitation was posted on June 24, 2026, with proposals due by June 30, 2026, and submissions are required electronically via the DLA Internet Bid Board System. The procurement is classified as non-commercial under FAR Part 15 due to the absence of a commercial market presence or public sales data, and while DLAD Procurement Note L04 permits submission of alternate product offers for future consideration, no other vendors are currently approved. The estimated total contract value is capped at $10,000,000 based on agency approval thresholds, though no formal CLIN structure or detailed pricing breakdown is provided in the documentation. Contract administration details, including the Contracting Officer, COR/COTR, payment office, accounting codes, invoicing methods, and packaging or inspection standards, are either unspecified or absent. Evaluation factors are inferred from FAR Part 15 procedures to involve a trade-off between technical acceptability and cost, but specific weights, ratings, or scoring criteria are not defined. The item is governed by AMSC codes for supply chain control, and acceptance will be conducted by the Government at the destination following delivery. No representations, certifications, or technical specifications beyond interchangeability requirements are included in the documentation.
