About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command – Picatinny Arsenal awarded contract W15QKN26CA032 to Dillon Aero, Inc. on a sole-source basis for M134D-M Marinized Minigun systems with associated water platform mounting systems, parts, accessories, support equipment, installation, and operator/maintainer training on September 15, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.103-1(c)(2)(i), substantial duplication of costs to the Government that cannot be recovered through competition. Dillon Aero is the sole producer and original equipment manufacturer with exclusive intellectual property rights to the M134D-M, a 7.62x51mm rotary machine gun with ceramic coatings for marine corrosion resistance. The Government's attempt to purchase technical data packages was denied on December 10, 2025. A Sources Sought Notice published July 10, 2026 received three responses; only Dillon Aero demonstrated capability and readiness for maritime platform installations and Air Worthiness Certification, while two respondents lacked adequate production maturity or relevant integration experience. Market research identified no alternate M134D systems meeting requirements. The contract supports Building Partner Capacity Case ZB-B-WFS in the Philippines. Period of performance is one year with anticipated award by the end of Fiscal Year 2026. Dillon Aero is located in Phoenix, Arizona. Subcontracting competition will be maximized for materials and specialized services.
