Lockheed Martin CAGE 16848 Project

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure six National Stock Numbers (NSNs) encompassing bathythermographs, pigtail wire assemblies, cover assemblies, bathythermograph probes, sonar probes, and sound velocity probes to support various weapon systems and operational platforms. This long-term strategic contract will be conducted under FAR Part 15 as a letter solicitation (Solicitation Number SPE4AX-26-R-0007) and will utilize a Fixed-Price, Indefinite Delivery Requirements Type Contract with Prospective Price Redetermination. While the procurement is proposed on a sole source basis to Lockheed Martin Corporation, the government is accepting responses from non-OEM suppliers who can demonstrate capability to provide these items throughout the contract period; interested parties must submit evidence of their ability to supply the items by the May 1, 2026 deadline. Responses should be directed to Contracting Officer Leomia Craddock-Hampton at Leomia.Craddock-Hampton@dla.mil and copied to SBA Procurement Center Representative Stephen Powell at Stephen.Powell@sba.gov. The contract will be evaluated on the contractor's ability to meet the government's requirements for these specialized underwater sound equipment components over the performance period.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is currently identified as sole source to Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE 03538), with the items spanning Federal Supply Classes from 5845 to 6655. The contract will have a five-year period of performance with a Fixed-Price structure and prospective price redetermination provisions to adjust pricing as necessary throughout the contract term. No specific award value or budget ceiling has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice; however, given the strategic nature of the requirement and the five-year duration, the contract is anticipated to represent a substantial procurement. The government has indicated that if additional NSNs are subsequently identified and added to the contract, they will be synopsized separately. Interested non-OEM suppliers have until May 1, 2026 to submit their letters of interest and supporting documentation demonstrating their capability to compete for this long-term strategic contract.
