This solicitation (SPRRA2-26-R-0024) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation office at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, requests firm-fixed-price proposals from DRS Network & Imaging Systems, LLC for IBAS 2.8 with 2nd Generation FLIR Kits to support the Bradley Fighting Vehicle program over fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The procurement represents an add-on to the existing basic contract SPRRA220D0012 and requires pricing certified at Best Estimated Quantities (BEQs) of 229 units for FY26 and 148 units for FY27. Proposals must be submitted electronically by December 31, 2025, including detailed, un-sanitized cost breakdowns in Microsoft Excel format with supporting documentation compliant with FAR 15.408 Table 15-2. The offeror must provide a comprehensive cost proposal capturing labor, material, subcontractor pricing, and indirect rates substantiated by forward pricing rate agreements and incurred cost submissions. Range pricing with applicable breaks and certifications to the BEQ are mandatory, alongside adherence to export control laws, telecommunications equipment restrictions, and organizational conflict-of-interest disclosures. Key contract requirements emphasize strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations, including FAR and DFARS clauses related to cost transparency, prohibition on certain telecommunications equipment, export control certifications under the Arms Export Control Act and Executive Order 12470, and restrictions under FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016. While technical or packaging specifics are not detailed, the contract’s focus lies in delivering firm-fixed-price ranges supported by audited, formula-intensive Excel cost proposals generated via the ProPricer system. The contract administration will be overseen by named contracting officers at DLA Aviation, with proposal communications strictly limited to designated contacts. No formal evaluation criteria beyond compliance and cost realism are published, and no pricing schedules or payment terms are disclosed. The place of performance for the work and delivery is Melbourne, Florida. Submissions must avoid assumptions, caveats, or extraneous terms and must thoroughly document any subcontractor involvement, particularly when subcontracting exceeds 70% of the work value. This solicitation prescribes a rigorous regulatory framework to ensure a transparent and auditable award process for this highly specialized defense system upgrade.
