About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command - Rock Island Arsenal issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of BLU-136/B 2,000lb High Fragmenting Bomb Assemblies and CNU-417/E Shipping and Storage Containers, which are critical munitions components used by the U.S. Air Force. The justification for restricting competition to domestic sources is based on 10 U.S.C. Section 3204(a)(3) and FAR 6.302-3, citing the requirement to maintain industrial mobilization capability, preserve the domestic munitions manufacturing base, and protect critical warfighting capacity in the absence of viable foreign alternatives due to U.S. government ownership of the technical data package. Contract W519TC-26-D-0001 was awarded on January 29, 2026, to an unidentified vendor for an undisclosed amount; however, prior related contracts were awarded to Faxon Machining Inc. and Major Tool and Machine Inc. in October 2019 with expiration dates of September 29, 2026. The BLU-136/B achieved Operational Use and Final Certification for USAF aircraft use on April 16, 2021, and serves as a Next Generation Area Attack Weapon paired with the JDAM guidance kit. The government indicated that future procurement actions will continue through SAM.gov postings to identify additional domestic producers capable of supporting surge production requirements.
