63--SALINITY SENSOR

The contract under solicitation number SPE4A726R0423 is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price indefinite quantity contract awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation through its Richmond Contracting Activity in Virginia, for the procurement of 20 salinity sensors identified by NSN 6320-016057059. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the unavailability of technical data and the limited number of sources capable of supplying the sensor, resulting in no responses to the prior sources sought notice. The contract has a two-year base period with no option periods, and performance is expected to occur at the contracting office located in Richmond, VA 23237. Pricing details are not enumerated in the available documentation, though the acquisition is subject to statutory thresholds including $900,000 and $150 million, and price reasonableness has been established through historical data and technical certification. The contract type is an indefinite quantity contract, and no specific delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging standards, or invoicing methods are described. The contracting officer, Ryan Loeffelholz, is the sole point of contact, with no designated contracting officer’s representative or technical representative identified in the documentation. No competition is expected, and therefore no formal evaluation factors, weights, or selection criteria are outlined. The acquisition does not require security clearances, key personnel provisions, or organizational conflict of interest disclosures. While a technical certification is required for acquisitions over $15 million, no offeror representations, certifications, socioeconomic data, or unique entity identifiers are included, as this is a government-justified sole-source award with no competitive responses. Electronic submission through SAM.gov was required by the February 20, 2026 deadline, and no amendments, modifications, or detailed specifications for inspection, acceptance, or labeling are provided in the available materials.
