Part Numbers Sole Source to L3 Harris

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is seeking a sole-source contract with L3 Harris Inc. for comprehensive support services related to VAMPIRE (Vehicular Adapter Mounted Portable Integrated Reconnaissance Equipment) systems. The solicitation (SPRRA2-25-R-0027) covers transportation, return, inspection, test, repair, documentation, and support for new and existing VAMPIRE assets, with potential procurement of additional systems. The contract will be awarded under an existing six-year indefinite delivery requirements (IDR) firm-fixed price umbrella contract (SPRRA2-24-D-0016). Proposals are due by January 31st, 2025, and must remain valid for 180 days, with pricing requested for a one-year period. The solicitation includes four contract line items (CLINs): telephonic and in-person repair estimates, components/parts/accessories, and program management, with two additional CLINs for maintenance and travel to be determined later.

The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category and is currently structured as a sole-source procurement to L3 Harris. Requirements are generated by Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) PMA-242 Project Office, with performance to take place in Nashville, Tennessee. The procurement covers a wide range of technical components including EO/IR systems, remote weapon stations, mission computers, displays, GPS systems, and VAMPIRE software from various manufacturers. While currently sole-sourced to L3 Harris, the DLA has indicated that if other suppliers express interest through beta.SAM.gov, they will consider issuing a formal competitive solicitation. The contract falls under the Engineering Services NAICS category (541330) and Professional Engineering/Technical Support PSC category, reflecting the technical nature of the VAMPIRE system maintenance and support services.
