GEAR CLUSTER

DLA Aviation at Tinker AFB awarded a non-competitive, firm-fixed-price contract to Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation for the procurement of 111 Gear Clusters (NSN 3020-01-032-9615, P/N 714923). The acquisition was conducted as a sole-source action under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as Hamilton Sundstrand is the original equipment manufacturer and the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the requirement. This determination was based on the fact that the necessary technical data is unavailable and reverse engineering the components would be uneconomical. The place of performance and expected location for inspection and acceptance is Rockford, Illinois. While the contract is a fixed-price award, specific pricing and total contract value were not disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement process included market research and price analysis conducted per FAR 10 and FAR 6.303 to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. The action is classified as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) restricted to federal personnel.
