NSN 1680-01-472-6197; PN 713810-3; CONTROL ASSEMBLY,QU

The contract pertains to the sole-source procurement of 30 units of a CONTROL ASSEMBLY, QU (NSN 1680-01-472-6197, PN 713810-3) under a Firm Fixed Price arrangement, justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the proprietary nature of technical data controlled exclusively by GE Aerospace. Market research confirmed no other sources can meet the requirement, as the technical specifications and integration parameters are not publicly available or licensable, necessitating direct procurement from the original manufacturer. The acquisition is classified as a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, with a waiver of the sources-sought notice approved by the Head of Contracting Activity. Although the contract value is not explicitly stated, it exceeds $15 million, triggering mandatory technical certification requirements, and includes redacted options for increased quantity and contract term extension. Performance and delivery are centered at Richmond, Virginia, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities resting solely with the government, though specific inspection criteria, quality standards, or testing parameters are not detailed. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, located in Richmond, VA, is the contracting office, with Steven Lewis and Crystal Lloyd serving as primary and secondary points of contact. The Contracting Officer is Kizzy Brinkley, and Yolanda Calvin Maupin acts as the Competition Advocate, both responsible for certifying compliance with FAR 6.303-2 and DFARS 206.303-2. No competitive evaluation factors, scoring methodology, or offeror submissions are present, as the procurement is non-competitive. Packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are not specified, despite the item being subject to defense logistics standards, and no MIL-STD references are provided. Accounting data, invoicing instructions, payment details, and COTR/COR assignments are omitted. While Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling is noted, no explicit security protocols or organizational conflict of interest provisions are included. The solicitation number is SPE4A526R0127, posted on May 29, 2026, with no formal contract signing date or amendment history provided. All attachments referenced—including a waiver, technical certification, and procurement notes L04 and M06—are mentioned contextually but not formally listed or described.
