Cylinder Assembly

This is an urgent sole-source solicitation issued by the Department of Defense, specifically the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Warner Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, to procure 10 Cylinder Assemblies (NSN 1650-01-187-9395HL, Part Number 205-076-056-107) from Bell Textron Inc. under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency, with no other quotes accepted. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price one-time buy with delivery required within 60 calendar days after receipt of order, and F.O.B. Origin terms apply, meaning the contractor assumes responsibility for shipment from their facility to the delivery point at DLA Distribution Warner Robins, Georgia. The item is a critical component for aircraft rotor control systems, and strict compliance with military packaging, preservation, and marking standards is mandated, including adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1 for packaging and preservation level MIL B, MIL-STD-129 for shipping container labeling and barcoding, and MIL-STD-130 for Unique Item Identification using Data Matrix symbology with ISO/IEC 16022 ECC200 encoding. All exterior, intermediate, and unit containers must bear barcodes containing the NSN, 13-digit contract number, and other specified data, with exceptions for certain shipment types. Hazardous materials must be labeled with proper shipping names, flash points, concentrations, and quantities per 49 CFR, and wooden packaging must be heat treated and marked under ISPM No. 15. The contractor must also comply with environmental restrictions prohibiting hexavalent chromium and ozone-depleting substances, and submit cybersecurity compliance assessments per NIST SP 800-171 through the Supplier Performance Risk System. All deliveries and invoices must be processed through WAWF, with electronic receiving reports and payment requests required. The contractor must represent and certify its small business status, provide its Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, and comply with clauses concerning subcontracting plans, responsible business conduct, and security prohibitions. No contract value is published as pricing is to be determined upon offer submission, and the award will be based on technical compliance, cybersecurity readiness, and supplier performance risk rather than price alone.
