SPRRA1-26-Q-0029/NSN: 1680-01-275-9782/NOUN: EXTINGUISHER,FIRE,A

This contract solicitation, numbered SPRRA1-26-Q-0029, is issued by the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation office at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. It seeks qualified sources for the supply and delivery of a fire extinguisher unit (NSN 1680-01-275-9782) intended for use in the BLACKHAWK weapon system. The procurement is structured as a five-year Indefinite Delivery Requirements (IDR) contract with a minimum initial quantity of 200 units. Key responsibilities include full manufacturing, supply chain management, long-lead procurement, obsolescence mitigation, packaging, marking, and delivery to Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania. The delivery lead time after contract award is set at 270 days. Due to export controls and limited availability of technical data, the acquisition is conducted as a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1(a)(1), restricting competition to approved suppliers Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and Kidde Technologies Inc. Contractors must hold an active United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification to access controlled technical data and comply with government regulations including the Arms Export Control Act and Export Administration Act. Packaging and marking requirements mandate adherence to DoD-STD-100 for configuration and source control, including standard military packaging to preserve product integrity during storage and transport, with labeling that reflects the NSN, manufacturer’s CAGE code, and lot identification. Evaluation of proposals will be based primarily on price, requiring technically acceptable offers consistent with JCP certification and export compliance; however, specific evaluation criteria, scoring, or weights are not detailed. The contract does not include clauses related to key personnel, organizational conflicts of interest, or contract options, and does not specify security clearance requirements aside from export control certifications. While the solicitation invites electronic proposal submissions by May 20, 2026, detailed proposal format requirements and attachments are referenced but not provided. Contract administration metadata related to payment procedures, invoicing, and acceptance inspections are limited, with acceptance presumed at the delivery location but not explicitly assigned. Overall, this solicitation is a tightly controlled, sole-source acquisition designed to ensure compliance with technical and regulatory mandates in fulfilling critical fire extinguisher needs for military applications.
