VALVE,SOLENOID

The contract centers on a sole-source acquisition for a solenoid valve (NSN: 4810011372476, PN: 56870-4) intended for F-16 aircraft sustainment, justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the inability to conduct competitive procurement. The sole qualified supplier is Eaton Aerospace, identified by CAGE code 99643, as no alternative sources exist due to lack of technical data rights, restrictive aerospace material specifications (AMSC codes C, D, H), and the military-unique nature of the component. Market research confirmed no responses to a prior Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov, validating the non-competition justification. The acquisition is firm-fixed-price with a quantity of 36 units, no options included, and performance and delivery required at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The procurement exceeds $15 million, triggering Truth in Negotiations Act requirements for certified cost or pricing data, though the exact contract value is not specified in the documentation. Packaging and marking requirements are not explicitly defined but are expected to comply with source-controlled procedures, and all documentation is marked as Controlled Unclassified Information with distribution limited to federal users only. The contracting office is DLA Weapons Support at Tinker AFB, with Scott Rountree as the certifying Contracting Officer and Sara Johnnie as the primary point of contact. The solicitation number is SPRTA1-26-R-0195, issued on May 29, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of July 29, 2025, and submissions must be made electronically via SAM.gov. No evaluation factors, contract administration details such as payment or invoicing methods, or COR/COTR information are provided, consistent with the non-competitive nature of the action.
