The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded contract SPE7L126P6942 to ACME Aerospace, Inc. for procurement of 1,701 battery storage units (NSN 6140-01-400-2901) on a limited-source basis on May 27, 2026.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), implemented under FAR 6.103-1 as an AMC 3 acquisition (second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer). The Government determined that only ACME Aerospace possesses the capability to furnish supplies that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on C-5 Galaxy aircraft weapons systems. The AMSC code D designation applies, indicating that competitive data is unavailable.

The Government conducted extensive market research to identify alternative sources, including a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on April 3, 2026 (yielding no responses) and a market survey on February 18, 2026 with ACME as the only vendor contacted and no other responses received. Procurement history review and general internet search identified no alternative manufacturing sources.

The acquisition is firm-fixed-price with a 100% option for additional quantities. The Government will conduct fair and reasonable pricing analysis through comparison to historical data and will request certified cost or pricing data as necessary. The solicitation includes DLAD Procurement Note L04 permitting submission of alternate offers and requesting technical evaluation for future processions. Dealers of the approved source will be solicited. The Government encourages interested vendors to contact the DLA Weapons Support Source Approval Monitor regarding becoming an approved source.
