53--MOUNT,RESILIENT,WEA

The contract is a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Quantity Contract awarded under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) to procure 4,260 units of the MOUNT, RESILIENT, WEAPON SYSTEM (NSN 5342-005433574) through DLA Aviation’s Weapons Support contracting activity in Richmond, VA. The acquisition is justified as non-competitive due to the unavailability of proprietary technical data required for manufacturing, limiting qualified suppliers to only three certified vendors: Hutchinson Aerospace, Oil States Industries, and Green Rubber Company. The contract includes a five-year base period with options for increased quantities, though specific dollar values, option durations, and total estimated value are not provided. No competitive evaluation factors, weights, or scoring criteria are applicable due to the sole-source nature of the award, and no formal solicitation instructions, submission deadlines, or proposal formatting requirements are outlined in the documentation. Deliverables are expected to meet form, fit, and function requirements aligned with existing military weapon systems, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the place of performance in Richmond, VA, under government oversight. While compliance with FAR and DFARS is assumed, specific packaging, marking, preservation, quality standards, or inspection procedures are not defined, and no detailed accounting codes, payment office details, invoicing methods, or COR/COTR information are provided. The only referenced clause, 52.217-9002, has been replaced by internal procurement notes, and supporting attachments include a list of NSNs and AMSC codes and a waiver of the sources-sought notice, which was approved by the Head of Contracting Activity. No socioeconomic certifications, size status, or affirmative representations from offerors are documented, and the contract’s funding and total value remain unspecified despite reference to internal approval thresholds ranging from $900,000 to $150 million.
