Insulation Tape

The contract is a sole-source indefinite quantity contract for Insulation Tape identified by NSN 5907-01-306-8256, awarded under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) with a three-year base period and options for increased quantities and term extensions, though specific dollar values and option percentages are redacted. The acquisition is restricted to two approved sources—Aircraft & Commercial (CAGE 8Z281) and Leonardo SPA Helicopters Div (CAGE A0126)—due to a lack of technical data rights, military-sensitive technology designation (AMSC S), and the absence of viable alternative suppliers, as confirmed by a sources-sought notice that received no responses. The contract is administered by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Cassandra Cooper serving as the contracting officer, and is governed by a framework of Applicable Material Source Codes (AMSC) that enforce source control, engineering approval, and high-reliability criteria rather than traditional technical specifications. Packaging, inspection criteria, delivery locations, and invoicing procedures are not explicitly defined, with administrative details such as payment office, accounting codes, and contracting officer’s representative information omitted. The contract supports defense systems requiring controlled access to sensitive technology and mandates compliance with CUI handling protocols, though no formal representations, certifications, or offeror submissions are documented, and the award is based solely on government justification without competitive evaluation or pricing transparency.
