About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the acquisition of aircraft latch assemblies (NSN 1560-00-208-3376) specifically designed for KC-135 aircraft. The contract, awarded on July 16, 2025, under contract number SPE4A725D0293, calls for the delivery of 7 units for GM requirements and 28 units for EAQ requirements under an indefinite quantity/firm fixed price arrangement. The sole source justification is based on Hartwell Corp. (CAGE 83014) being the only known manufacturer capable of providing these specialized aircraft components, with the government lacking data rights to enable competition from other sources. Despite posting a sources sought notice on May 9, 2025, no other vendors responded to the solicitation, reinforcing the need for sole source procurement. The contract value remains undisclosed but is noted to be under the $750,000 threshold requiring higher-level approval, and the acquisition falls under the category of airframe structural components manufacturing.
