About this file
This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime details a proposed contract for Gun Cleaning Kits. The procurement is for a Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Otis Products, Inc. for a maximum of five years (three-year base period with two one-year option periods). The annual demand is 2,306 Gun Cleaning Kits (NSN 1005-01-624-1673/MFG-556-IMOD), primarily for the M16/M4 Rifle Family and Osprey CV-22 Aircraft weapon systems.
The solicitation (SPE7LX25RX016) is being pursued as a sole-source HUBZone small business set-aside, with Otis Products identified as the sole approved source. Market research was conducted between January and March 2025, which included surveying potential vendors. Other companies like BHPE and LC Industries expressed interest but were unable to supply the item due to specific manufacturing source requirements. The contract will include price breaks at different demand levels (50-5,000 / 5,001-10,000 / 10,000+), and Otis Products will quote directly to the Government. The procurement is justified based on Otis being the only source with the necessary technical data and manufacturing knowledge to meet the Government's minimum needs.
