POWER SUPPLY

The contract is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price procurement for a POWER SUPPLY (NSN 6130012938504 / P/N 1000530-009) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime through its DLA Weapons Support office in Columbus, Ohio. The acquisition is restricted exclusively to RANTEC POWER SYSTEMS INC. (CAGE 60132) due to unique form, fit, and functional compatibility requirements with the LOS ANGELES CLASS SSN (688) submarine, justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, with technical data limitations classified under AMSC D, preventing competitive sourcing. The base order covers five units with a 100% quantity option, allowing the government to acquire an additional five units if needed. No pricing details are provided in the documentation, though estimated values indicate a base value of $1,000,000, a total estimated value of $5,000,000, and a maximum contract value of $10,000,000. The procurement follows prior authority from contract SPE7L323C0032, with supporting documentation including technical certifications and previous justifications attached. The solicitation encourages future competition through DLAD Procurement Note L04, permitting submission of alternate offers for evaluation in subsequent procurements, even though none are accepted now. The contracting officer is Jacob R. McGee, with William Melendez serving as the Competition Advocate; no contracting officer’s representative or technical representative is designated. The place of performance is unspecified, but administrative correspondence is directed to the Columbus, Ohio office. No inspection criteria, packaging standards, invoicing methods, or payment details are outlined, and no offeror representations or certifications were submitted as part of Section K. The contract was issued under FAR Part 15, with a signing date of January 22, 2026, following a synopsized solicitation posted in late January 2026 and a market survey conducted in December 2025 that confirmed the absence of capable alternate sources.
