About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded contract SPE7L126C0070 for 329 Connecting Link Rigs (NSN 3040-00-625-8573) for the Aircraft Hercules C-130 on a sole-source basis under a limited sources justification, with award date of June 9, 2026.
The acquisition is restricted to three approved sources—Lockheed Martin, Derco Aerospace, and RBC Aerostructures—justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The restriction is based on the requirement that spare parts be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with parts currently in use, and that only these approved sources possess the unique design capabilities, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge essential to maintaining part quality. The part is classified under AMSC Code C, requiring engineering source approval by the design control activity.
Market research conducted February 6, 2026, included a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov (no responses), outreach to five potential vendors, and internet search (no additional sources identified). Only RBC Aerostructures responded to the market survey. The acquisition is firm-fixed-price with no options. The justification was signed by Contracting Officer Weaver on February 18, 2026, and approved by Competition Advocate Melendez on February 24, 2026. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established through price analysis and historical price comparison.
