About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a machine gun mount, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN). The contract is for a Firm-Fixed-Price acquisition of 8 DGMT1001 Machine Gun Mounts for the M134 Mini Gun, with an option for an additional 8 units, to be used on Black Hawk Helicopters (UH-60). Dillon Aero is the sole source for this mount, as they designed, tested, and obtained government authorization for the item at their own expense, and have unique manufacturing capabilities to produce the mount.
The total estimated reverse engineering cost is $500,000, broken down into tasks such as product and material engineering, prototype development, quality assurance, and testing. Market research conducted in October 2024 via a Sources Sought Notice on SAM.gov yielded two responses from BHPE, LLC and Integrated Procurement Technologies (IPT), but no alternative sources were identified. Previous procurement history shows Dillon Aero as the contractor for similar contracts in 2002 and 2019, both awarded under the same FAR provision for "Only One Responsible Source". The contract is valued under $2M and is not expected to require certified cost or pricing data.
