This procurement is for one Parachute Packing Press Model GSU-449/E, part number COM00150-1, intended for the F/A-18 Kuwait Classic program. The requirement is being processed as a sole-source acquisition from Allied Defense Industries under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i), as they are the original equipment manufacturer with unique capabilities. The government has determined that competing the request is not feasible due to proprietary design elements and the prohibitive costs associated with qualifying an alternative vendor, which would include funding for design reviews, testing, and logistics updates estimated between 200,000 and 250,000 dollars. The solicitation, numbered N6833526Q1223, is managed by the Navair Warfare Ctr Aircraft Division under NAICS code 336413. The presolicitation was posted on September 22, 2026, with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. The primary point of contact for this effort is Molly Jackson, and the procurement is being handled through the Department of Defense office located at Joint Base MDL in New Jersey.

Full Description

This effort is for the procurement of (1) Parachute Packing Press Model GSU-449/E (PN: COM00150-1; NSN: 1670-99-555-6604) for the F/A-18 Kuwait Classic program.


Under authority 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1) and implemented in FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i), this authority shall be used when the program needs can only be satisfied from only one source with unique capabilities.  Any attempt to procure a different part number would require the Government to fund a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) Critical Design Review (CDR) First Article Test (FAT) and Test & Evaluation (T&E) effort for a new vendor.  The Government would have to fund personnel to be on the Source Selection Team to review proposals.  Any change in form, fit or function would require changes to the existing Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) (technical publications, spares inventory, calibration) which would incur additional costs for update in the amount of $200,000 to $250,000.  The process required to obtain an alternate asset is cost-prohibitive and would force the FMS Partner to utilize an asset that is not supported, compatible or interchangeable with the USN-approved configuration.  


This requirement will be processed under the authority FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i), whereby only one source with unique capability can supply the requested item. Market Research was performed by the Lakehurst Technical team. The Original Equipment Manufacturer of these items is Allied Defense Industries | Cage 0GD25. The US Government does have some technical data rights (e.g., drawings), but is unable to compete this request due to specific proprietary items to Eaton within the design of the end item. Acquisition Method Code: 3H - acquire directly from the manufacturer/US GOV does not have sufficient data. No additional market research was conducted for the reasons discussed above, and as such, it is the Governmnt's intention to conduct the repair procurement on a sole-source basis to Allied Defense Industries | Cage 0GD25.
