RADOME

The contract awarded under solicitation number SPE4A526R0156 is a sole-source, Firm Fixed Price acquisition for 13 RADOME units identified by NSN 1560-015465426, procured from AXILLON under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), which permits limited competition due to the exclusive ownership of proprietary technical data by the sole source. The contracting office is the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Kizzy Brinkley serving as the Contracting Officer. The procurement was justified through a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, which includes certifications under FAR 6.304 and 6.303-2 due to the acquisition value exceeding $15 million and the absence of alternative sources capable of fulfilling the technical requirements. No competitive solicitations were conducted, and while a sources sought notice was posted in March 2026, no responses from other vendors were received or considered. The contract does not contain detailed specifications for packaging, marking, preservation, or inspection criteria, though adherence to DoD standards is implied through the use of an NSN and CUI classification. Performance location is Richmond, VA, but delivery timelines, FOB terms, payment details, accounting codes, invoicing systems, and contract value are not specified. The solicitation references compliance with procurement notes L04, M06, and L22, with allowances for supplemental attachments if necessary, but lacks explicit submission deadlines, proposal formatting rules, or technical evaluation factors. The contract includes placeholder options for increased quantities and term extensions, though their parameters are undefined. No offeror representations, certifications, or socioeconomic data are included, and there is no designation of a Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical oversight personnel. All pricing data remains blank, preventing determination of the contract’s total value, and while the contract type is Firm Fixed Price, the absence of formal CLINs, SLINs, or pricing tables indicates the document is incomplete or preliminary.
