About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation has awarded contract SPRPA126GD501 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on a sole-source basis for 23 solenoid valves (NSN 4810-014545076) for FA-18 aircraft, on August 26, 2026.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, specifically AMSC 3, which authorizes direct acquisition from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time, and AMSC C, requiring engineering source approval to maintain part quality. Northrop Grumman is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government, rendering the technical data package, specification, and engineering description unavailable for full and open competition; reverse engineering is prohibited. A sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov on September 18, 2025, resulted in no responses. A market survey was conducted through contract history review and sources sought publication. The acquisition is firm fixed price with no contract options. The Government will request certified cost or pricing data when required to establish a fair and reasonable price. Contracting Officer Manuel N. Alvarez certified the justification on October 23, 2025, with approval authority at the Contracting Officer level for acquisitions not exceeding $750,000.
