This item initially solicited as a 100% total small business set-aside (SBSA) under SPRAL125Q0010, with an estimated unit price of each. Three (3) small business quotes were received. The OEM’s authorized small business dealer, Integrated Procurement Technologies (IPT) CAGE 4K0V2, was the lowest bidder with quoted unit price of each for a total value of , exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) of $350,000.00.

The Azimuth Indicator is an indicator for the display of the terrestrial bearing of a target with respect to a fixed reference point. An azimuth indicator is a navigational instrument used in aviation and marine applications to determine the aircraft or vessel's heading or direction. It provides a visual representation of the aircraft or vessel's orientation relative to a reference point, typically the magnetic north or true north. The Azimuth Indicator is a crucial component of the LAV-25A2's fire control system, enabling the gunner to accurately engage targets, particularly those that are not in the direct line of sight.

End item, weapon system, or class of item: Table of Authorized Material Control Number (TAMCN): E09477M – Light Armored Vehicle (LAV): The Marine LAV is self-propelled, wheeled, lightly armored, combat vehicles, with or without major and/or secondary armament. The LAV is designed to rapidly deploy personnel, cargo, and the like for combat and tactical operations. It may have amphibious and off-the-road capability.

4. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.103-1.

5. The Government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported end item or weapon system. The acquisition is restricted to the following source(s) of supply, which are the only source(s) known to have the capability of furnishing the required supplies and the only source(s) currently approved by the design control activity.

CAGE COMPANY NAME

12050 BEI Precision Systems & Space Company (BEI Precision)

The use of the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is based on:

[X] AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.

The following AMSC descriptions are available in DFARS PGI 217.7506 Part 2-201.2.

[ X ] AMSC C. This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part. Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition of the part from the approved source(s). The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part. An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

On September 10, 2025, the USMC Logistics Command (LOGCOM) Equipment Specialist of record certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the certification is attached.

6. The following efforts are being taken to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable:

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized on or about March 19, 2026, for a period of 7 days.

[ ] A synopsis exception cited in FAR 5.202 applies (Explain): __________________.

[X] Dealers of the approved source(s) will be solicited.

[X] The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 15 days.

[X] Other (Explain): A Source Sought Notice (SSN) posted to SAM.gov from February 24, 2026, to March 6, 2026, with no responses received. The solicitation will be published for 15 days.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The value of this procurement is less than the Certified Cost and Pricing Data threshold of $2,500,000.00;

therefore, cost and pricing data is exempt per FAR 15.403-4. To deem the price fair and reasonable a price analysis will be conducted using similar items, salient characteristics, and/or request an informal cost breakdown to assist in establishing the Government’s targets and later deeming prices fair and reasonable for this procurement.

8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Sources Sought Notice:

[X] A Sources Sought Notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov February 24, 2026, to March 6, 2026, (10 days) and yielded the following results: No responses received.

Market Survey:

[X] A market survey was conducted February 24, 2026, to March 6, 2026, (10 days)

Names and CAGE Codes of vendors contacted: Two (2): BEI Precision (12050) and Integrated Procurement Technologies (IPT) (4K0V2).

Names and CAGE Codes of vendors responding: BEI Precision (12050) and IPT (4K0V2)

Summary of information received relevant to sourcing (i.e., dealer/manufacturer; intended manufacturing source): The market survey was sent to the OEM BEI Precision (12050) and small business dealer IPT (4K0V2). IPT CAGE 4K0V2 responded to the market survey on 2/26/26, indicating they are a small business dealer and independent of the OEM BEI Precision.

The contractor indicated the item is commercial per FAR 2.101 and indicated the item has been determined to be commercial by a miliary department, a defense agency, or another component of DoD.

The OEM BEI Precision (CAGE 12050) responded to the market survey on 3/2/26, indicating they are a large business manufacturer.

The contractor indicated the item is commercial per FAR 2.101 and indicated the item has been determined to be commercial by a miliary department, a defense agency, or another component of DoD.

BEI Precision did not provide any supportable documentation to substantiate their commerciality claim for this requirement. The buyer sought additional information from BEI Precision regarding their commerciality claim on 3/2/26, by requesting the vendor complete the Commercial Item Description (CID) market survey by 3/6/26.

The buyer completed additional research and found while the item Azimuth Indicator might suggest a highly specialized or military component, the underlying concept of azimuth (a horizontal angle) and its indication is widespread across many different fields, such as smartphones navigation apps, wind direction navigators and astrology, leading to both highly specialized and broad commercial products.

Based on the above, the OEM BEI Precision submitted supportable documentation to support a commerciality item determination for the item, Azimuth Indicator (NSN 5895-01-556-9538) in accordance with FAR 2.101(3)(i), that is modifications of a type customarily available in the commercial marketplace.

The item is available in the commercial marketplace. Therefore, the Contracting Officer hereby determines this item to be a commercial item.
