C-5 AFCS and CNP Integrated Panel

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure C-5 AFCS and CNP Integrated Panels through a firm fixed price request for proposal under a sole source justification. The procurement will cover two specific part numbers (4V91084-101A and 4V91083-101A) with corresponding National Stock Numbers (NSN: 5998-01-599-8134UC and NSN: 5998-01-599-9341UC), classified under PSC 5998 for Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, and Associated Hardware. The contract will require qualification and manufacturing capabilities to ensure compatibility with existing C-5 aircraft systems. Since the Government does not possess any technical data, drawings, schematics, or releasable documentation necessary to support this requirement, the procurement mandates that the contractor possess adequate knowledge of performance requirements and access to the required technical data. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 22, 2026, with a deadline for proposal submission on May 7, 2026.

This procurement contains no set-aside designation and is being pursued as a sole source contract with Ducommun Labarge Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 08719), the current equipment manufacturer and only known source with the requisite technical capabilities and proprietary knowledge to produce these integrated panels. The contract is structured as a definite quantity, one-time procurement, indicating a finite requirement without recurring orders. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. Given the specialized nature of the requirement, the sole source justification, and the Government's lack of technical documentation, Ducommun Labarge Technologies, Inc. is positioned as the incumbent contractor most likely to receive the award based on their exclusive possession of the necessary technical data and manufacturing expertise.
