About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awarded contract SPE4A726C0099 on a sole-source basis on July 16, 2026, for 128 units of ballscrew assemblies (NSN 1880121175837), with an estimated value exceeding $900,000 but not exceeding $20 million.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, invoking AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval by design control activity to maintain quality). The acquisition is structured as Firm Fixed Price with no options. DLA Weapons Support Richmond contracting activity determined that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that data presently available reflects minimum government needs. Three sources were identified as eligible: Linear Motion LLC (CAGE 0A335), CEF Industries, LLC (CAGE 00268), and Lockheed Martin Corp (CAGE 98897).
DLA made efforts to improve competition, posting a Request for Information on beta.SAM.gov on February 18, 2026, which yielded no responses. A sources sought synopsis was planned for February 26, 2026, with solicitation copy provided to interested firms. The Competition Advocate approved the justification on March 2, 2026, and Contracting Officer Jennifer L. Rivers certified it on February 25, 2026. Future actions to overcome competition barriers include procurement notes to allow other vendors to submit SAR packets and replacement of deleted DLAD clauses to enhance future competition. The contract is within NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components).
