HARDWARE KIT,MECHANIC EQUIPMENT

This is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price acquisition for a Hardware Kit, Mechanic Equipment (NSN 5340-016822660) under solicitation SPE7L126P6975, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime through its DLA Weapons Support office in Columbus, Ohio. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.103-1 and 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as a subsequent acquisition from the only approved source, Defense Maritime Solutions, Inc. (CAGE 0EYA6), due to the government’s lack of data rights and the uneconomical feasibility of reverse engineering the components. The item must be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with existing parts on the Littoral Combat Ship, and compliance with AMSC Code P confirms the government cannot obtain manufacturing data rights from alternative suppliers. Six units are required, with no additional services included, and the contract value is capped at $10,000,000 though specific pricing details are not provided. The place of performance is Columbus, Ohio, and the delivery is a one-time buy with no option quantities beyond the specified six units. The acquisition follows a prior justification, SPE7L126P3409P00001, which is attached to support continuity of source and technical legitimacy. No formal evaluation factors, inspection locations, packaging specifications, or payment instructions are detailed, and while the contracting officer is identified as Danielle K. Jilton, no COR, COTR, or invoicing procedures are named. Submission is electronic through the DLA Internet Bid Board System, and the procurement includes DLAD Procurement Note L04 allowing for alternate offers while maintaining source control. The justification process confirms a market survey, review of procurement history, and application of AMC 3, with no small business or socioeconomic set-asides applied.
