Seal Plain

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, through its DLA Weapons Support office in Columbus, Ohio, has issued a sole-source procurement for 111/222 units of the Seal Plain component (NSN 5330-01-708-3554) under contract number SPE7L126C0076, with an associated contract SPE7L126R0037 executed on December 16, 2025. The acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unavailability of technical data and the absence of economically feasible alternative sources, relying on DFARS AMSC D authority which permits procurement from a single manufacturer—Transdigm Inc. (CAGE 96124)—when form, fit, and function interchangeability must be maintained for F-16 weapon system spares. The contract type is firm-fixed-price with a 100% option clause, enabling full exercisability of optional quantities, and the performance location is designated as Columbus, Ohio, where the Government will conduct inspection and acceptance based solely on functional equivalence to the original component, without reference to specific MIL-STDs or documented inspection criteria. Despite the solicitation being posted for 30 days on the DLA Internet Bid Board System and synopsized on SAM.gov, no competitive responses were received, and no pricing, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, or submission instructions beyond the source restriction were specified in the documentation. No offeror representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status data were collected, as no bids were submitted; the only certifications present are internal government attestations validating the sole-source justification. Payment and invoicing details, accounting codes, packaging standards, and delivery terms remain undefined, and the estimated contract value cannot be determined due to the complete absence of unit pricing, extended costs, or option values in Section B. The procurement is administratively closed under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) with no subsequent competition anticipated.
