About this opportunity
The Department of the Army has awarded contract W912CH-26-C-A098 to Pearson Engineering Limited on a sole-source basis for production and repair of the Electronic Component Assembly (Multipurpose Control Unit/MCU), with a total estimated value of $722,597.80.
The Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal justified the non-competitive award under FAR 6.302-1, citing Pearson as the original equipment manufacturer with sole capability to produce and repair the MCU for the Assault Breacher Vehicle. The Government does not own intellectual property rights to technical data necessary for competitive re-procurement. Market research conducted through a Sources Sought Notice in August–September 2023 identified only Allied Defense Industries as a potential alternative supply source, though Pearson confirmed it alone can perform repair services. Reverse engineering estimates total $1.5 million with 39–45 months duration, exceeding twice the contract value; qualifying an alternative source would require 11.6 years to offset development costs through assumed 25 percent price savings.
The supply requirement includes a base quantity of 34 units with a 100 percent option for 34 additional units (68 total) at $8,402.30 per unit. The repair requirement covers 18 units at $151,241.40. The procurement uses Army Working Capital Funds and is firm-fixed-price. Prior non-competitive contracts to related vendors include W56HZV-23-D-0083 (September 2023, $2,832,280 to Allied Defense Industries) and SPRAL1-12-M-0064 (June 2012, $25,866.06 to SIT Corporation, an authorized Pearson distributor). The Contracting Officer approved the justification on April 24, 2024.
