AI Contract Overview
The contract, identified by solicitation number SPE4A726R0223, is a Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity Contract awarded by the Department of Defense’s DLA Aviation through its contracting office in Richmond, Virginia, for the procurement of 1,770 units of a coupling, clamp, grooved item designated by NSN 5342-003169231 and part number 2703-150. The acquisition is conducted as a sole-source action justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the availability of the item from only a limited number of approved sources—VOSS INDUSTRIES, LLC, EATON CORPORATION, and THE BOEING COMPANY—supported by Acquisition Management Support Codes indicating proprietary design, restricted data rights, military-sensitive technology, and the need for specialized tooling and certification that preclude competitive sourcing. The contract has a five-year base period with options for increased quantity and term extension, though financial values for options are not disclosed. Performance is to occur at the Richmond, VA, contracting office, with delivery expected under an as-required order mechanism. Compliance with MIL-STD-2175 for Class 1 castings and adherence to restrictions under AMSC codes K, M, N, P, Q, R, and S govern quality, technical data rights, and manufacturing controls. While the procurement followed a sources-sought notice issued on November 21, 2025, no responses were received, validating the non-competitive methodology. Technical and cost data certification is required for acquisitions over $15 million, and handling of the item involves Controlled Unclassified Information requirements due to its military-sensitive nature. No standard FAR contract clauses, evaluation factors, packaging specifications, barcoding requirements, payment details, or contracting officer representative information are provided, though the contracting officer, Genesis Johnson, is identified with a signature date of December 4, 2025. CAGE codes for approved suppliers are listed, but no socioeconomic status, UEI, or key personnel qualifications are disclosed.
