The contract is a Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity Contract with a five-year base period and no options, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation under solicitation SPE4A726R0138 for the procurement of a proprietary Fluid Filter Element identified by NSN 1650-007564990, specifically for use on the B-52 Stratofortress aircraft. The acquisition is justified as a sole source under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the lack of interchangeable alternatives and restricted technical data that preclude full and open competition. The estimated annual requirement ranges from 80 to 400 units at an estimated unit price of $400, though the total contract value remains unspecified due to the absence of formal CLIN structures or maximum ceilings. Performance is centralized at DLA Richmond, Virginia, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities held by the government, though exact inspection locations and quality criteria are not detailed. Packaging, preservation, and marking requirements are not explicitly outlined, though compliance with standard DoD logistics practices is implied. The contracting officer is Jeremy Prince, and the primary point of contact is Tatjana Klemmer, with no designated COR or COTR identified. The solicitation permits evaluation of alternate part numbers through Procurement Notes L04 and M06 to encourage potential sources while maintaining technical equivalence. No security clearances, organizational conflict of interest provisions, or key personnel requirements are imposed. Offeror representations and certifications, unit pricing tables, payment details, invoicing methods, and accounting codes are not included in the documentation. The contract was posted on SAM.gov on May 11, 2026, following a sole source justification signed on November 7, 2025.
