About this file
This is a Justification for Sole Source document supporting a federal procurement for bellows assemblies. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring replacement bellows through solicitation SPMYM2-26-Q-7526, with a response due date of July 7, 2026 at 8:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time. The solicitation is issued as a 100% total small business set-aside using commercial and simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13.5, and the resulting award will be a firm fixed-price supply contract for FOB Destination delivery to Bremerton, WA 98314.
The justification restricts competition to Senior Flexonics Pathway Division due to compatibility requirements with existing shipboard-installed Pathway bellows assemblies. The government requires an exact duplicate replacement manufactured by Pathway using the same manufacturing drawings and processes to ensure fit, form, and function compatibility with the multiple Pathway bellows currently installed in the system. The manufacturer's point of contact is Bob Tilghman at (830) 214-1964, with the manufacturer located at 2400 Longhorn Industrial Drive, New Braunfels, TX 78130. The estimated contract value falls within the $15,000 to $350,000 range. Offerors must provide complete pricing, manufacturer information, all representations and certifications, and proof of current SAM.gov registration to be considered for award.
