(NASCO, CAGE 21849). This acquisition intends to renew contracts SPE4AX-18-D-9452 and  SPE4AX-18-D-9453 that expire in September 2028.  MABS is currently the sole source manufacturer for the parts scheduled for solicitation and the acquisition will be conducted using other than full and open competition procedures in accordance with 10 U.S.C 2304 (c)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 (Class Deviation 2026-O0017), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.  The government procures these items on a part-number basis and does not possess any technical data.    

The solicitation will be for a ten-year, requirements-type long-term contract.  There will be one five-year base period and one five-year option period.  The structure of the contract is anticipated to be two separate contracts resulting from one solicitation. Pricing terms will primarily firm fixed price, however provisions for Price Redetermination may be included and conducted concurrently when exercising the option period. Once items are added, they will remain on contract with MABS until the final expiration of the contract unless they become competitive items.  The eventual contract is intended to be awarded as commercial using FAR Part 12 (Class Deviation 2026-O0028) procedures.  The items support various weapon systems.  DLA-Direct shipments will be to any DLA depot. Customer-direct shipments may be to any DLA customer.

The estimated solicitation issue date for the Request for Proposal is 18 January 2027.
