About this opportunity

The US Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers for a Gyro-Optical Assembly supporting the HELLFIRE Missile System. The requirement involves producing 151 units of a specific part number (D14V1022) with NSN 1420-01-6869216, subject to Contractor First Article Testing. Interested companies must submit a one-page capabilities statement addressing past similar work, manufacturing capacity, company information, and socioeconomic status. The capabilities statement must be electronically submitted to Lindsay Jennings by 4 pm CST on March 20, 2025, in Microsoft Word or PDF format. Evaluation criteria will focus on companies' ability to manufacture at least 50% of the requirement and demonstrate relevant production experience.

The opportunity is currently restricted to Lockheed Martin Corporation, with the government citing unavailability of competitive procurement data as the rationale for sole-source consideration. The contract will be a firm fixed-price, one-time buy with delivery to the Aviation-Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336419 for guided missile and space vehicle parts manufacturing. While the current solicitation appears limited, the government has indicated that other companies may submit documentation demonstrating manufacturing capabilities. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but involves 151 units of the Gyro-Optical Assembly, with contract award anticipated around April 1, 2025, and performance to occur at the contractor's facility.
