About this opportunity
The Department of the Army, through Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal, published this sole source justification notice on April 9, 2026, for the procurement of 25MM Flexible Ammunition Chutes (NSN: 1005-01-176-6086). The Army awarded contract W912CH-26-C-0027 to Standard Armament Inc. (SAI), the sole authorized distributor and manufacturer of this item, based on the lack of a complete Technical Data Package and intellectual property rights necessary to open competition to other suppliers. The justification cites that reverse-engineering the item would require an estimated 44 months and substantial contracted services, making competitive procurement impractical. Market research conducted from January through February 2025, including a Sources Sought Notice, identified only SAI as the manufacturer and confirmed no alternative suppliers exist through searches of mandatory sources and general market inquiries. The procurement includes a base quantity of 292 units with an option for an additional 292 units at a unit price of $2,778.58, bringing the total estimated acquisition value to $3,245,381.44 for the combined base and option quantities. SAI has been the sole source supplier since at least 2003, with prior contracts awarded in 2018 and 2004.
