About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Orlando has awarded a sole-source contract to Cubic Defense Applications, Inc. for procurement of 55 MILES IWS2 (Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System Individual Weapon System) kits with associated training, with an estimated value of $860,000, on a firm-fixed-price basis.
The justification cites Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.103-1, asserting that Cubic Defense Applications, Inc. is the sole original equipment manufacturer and exclusive proprietor of the proprietary MILES laser engagement system. The Contracting Officer determined that only Cubic is capable of providing the required system with guaranteed technical interoperability with existing U.S. and Allied force training architectures and that alternative systems cannot utilize proprietary MILES laser encoding protocols and would be non-interoperable. Market research via a ten-day Sources Sought Notice yielded responses from five vendors—the OEM and four small businesses—all of which were deemed technically non-responsive or legally ineligible due to violation of the Nonmanufacturer Rule and inability to comply with subcontracting limitations.
The contract is funded with expiring Fiscal Year 2026 Section 333 Building Partner Capacity funds, which must be obligated by 30 September 2026. The performance period runs from 1 October 2026 through 31 December 2027 (15 months). The procurement includes 55 kits with harnesses, halos, and Small Arms Transmitter components, plus associated accessories and a one-time New Equipment Training event in-country. Contract number W900KK-26-C-A032 was awarded 17 September 2026.
