The contract under solicitation number SPE4A625RX468 is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price award issued by DLA Aviation, a component of the Department of Defense, for the procurement of a cable assembly identified by NSN 6150-01-200-2172 for use in Stratolifter C/KC aircraft systems. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) due to the absence of publicly available technical data, which necessitates exclusive sourcing from a single supplier to ensure compatibility and operational integrity within military avionics.

Evaluation of proposals will follow FAR Part 15 procedures, though specific evaluation factors, weights, or award criteria are not provided in the available documentation. No option periods, special requirements such as security clearances or key personnel clauses, or detailed packaging and marking standards are referenced, indicating reliance on standard defense acquisition practices defined under FAR and DFARS. Delivery and inspection are governed by government oversight, with acceptance implied at the Richmond, Virginia location. The contracting officer is Heidi Lacosse, with Patsy Bedford as the primary point of contact, and the solicitation was posted on June 4, 2026, following a March 2025 sources sought notice and official justification for other than full and open competition dated March 13, 2025. No completed offeror representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status disclosures are present, as this document reflects agency-level procurement justification rather than offeror-submitted information.
