About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation has awarded a sole-source requirements contract for Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) production and repair services to Collins Elbit Vision Systems, LLC on a sole-source basis under contract SPRWA126D0001.
DLA Aviation procures on behalf of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center and Air Force Sustainment Center to support USAF F-15 and F-16 aircraft, Navy F-18 aircraft, and Foreign Military Sales customers. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, establishing CEVS as the only responsible source. As the original equipment manufacturer holding proprietary technical data, CEVS has been the sole approved source since calendar year 2000 with no commercial market alternatives. Market research, including a sources sought posting and vendor outreach, confirmed no other sources possess the required technical data or expertise. The government's cost-benefit analysis determined that reverse engineering alternatives would be economically prohibitive, requiring 8–10 years and costs exceeding program benefits given the system's planned retirement in 2040.
The contract covers 47 initial line items comprising 29 consumable and 18 depot level reparable spares. Performance period totals 72 months consisting of one three-year basic ordering period plus three one-year ordering periods, with an optional six-month extension. Place of performance is Fort Worth, Texas. Contract funding derives from Defense Working Capital Funds, appropriated service funds for depot level reparable NSNs, and Foreign Military Sales funding. The government will require certified cost or pricing data and fair and reasonable pricing determination through FAR Part 15 procedures with Defense Contract Management Agency support.
