F-16 theodolite, surveying

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure five surveying theodolites (NSN 6675016449140WF) for F-16 aircraft, with a specific requirement for BAE Systems as the qualified source. The Request for Proposals (SPRHA4-25-R-0194) is due by January 27, 2025 at 11:59 PM, and will be awarded as a firm-fixed price contract with DO-A1 priority rating. Key contract requirements include compliance with commercial military packaging standards (MIL-STD-2073-1E), item unique identification marking, and submission of a Counterfeit Prevention Plan. The evaluation will be primarily price-based, with cost being the most significant factor and all other considerations deemed substantially less important. Contractors must adhere to strict packaging, preservation, and marking requirements specified in multiple military standards.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific small business category and is open under NAICS code 334519 with a size standard of 600 employees. The contract requires delivery to DLA Distribution Depot at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with a delivery timeline ending on November 30, 2026. The total quantity is five theodolite units, with specific packaging requirements including Level A and Level B protection using Type III containers. The hard plastic cases must be overboxed according to precise specifications, and contractors must follow extensive guidelines for marking, wood packaging materials, and counterfeit prevention. Contractors will need to provide both human-readable and machine-readable item identifiers, with specific size requirements for lettering and matrix squares, and must establish comprehensive counterfeit prevention protocols that include personnel training and risk assessment procedures.
