This contract involves a Request for Proposal for the purchase of a specialized cable assembly—printed, flexible—under National Stock Number 5995-01-153-9639, intended for use with the Hornet F/A-18 (E/F) aircraft. The procurement is structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract, encompassing a base year plus four one-year option periods. It is solicited on an unrestricted basis but follows procedures other than full and open competition due to source control requirements, with Teledyne Technologies Incorporated identified as the sole approved supplier. The item is designated as a critical application product subject to higher-level quality standards. Estimated annual demand is set at 66 units, with a minimum guaranteed purchase of 30 units in the base year, no minimum for option years, and delivery order quantities ranging between 30 and 66 units. Special considerations include export control restrictions, requiring contractors to be certified by the Department of Defense to access certain unclassified data. The contract explicitly excludes commercial items and involves provisions for a reverse auction, encouraging potential offerors to familiarize themselves with the auction process through provided tutorials. Past performance and other evaluation criteria will play a role in the award decision. The solicitation was made available online in December 2015 with a January 2016 closing date and remains accessible through the Defense Logistics Agency’s internet bid board system. Contact points for acquisition and contracting officers are provided for inquiries related to the solicitation.
