PLC upgrades for Blast and Paint

The United States Marine Corps, through Marine Corps Logistics Command in Albany, Georgia, is seeking replacement components for Allen Bradley Micrologix 1500 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to be upgraded to Allen Bradley Compact Logix 5380 series components. This procurement is categorized under Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing (NAICS 335314) and Miscellaneous Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (PSC 4940). The Marine Corps has determined that only one source is reasonably available for this requirement based on exclusive licensing agreements and the fact that McNaughton-McKay (Cage Code 0CFH4) is the sole authorized distributor for Allen Bradley parts in the Albany region. The evaluation will be based on the justification that Allen Bradley is the exclusive manufacturer of replacement parts designed to interface directly with existing systems, and that alternative manufacturers' products cannot meet critical integration and performance requirements without risking system functionality or incurring substantial additional costs. The solicitation was posted on April 23, 2026, with a response deadline of April 29, 2026.

This contract opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is intended as a sole source purchase order award to McNaughton-McKay, the incumbent and authorized distributor. The specific contract award value and quantity of components required are not disclosed in the solicitation notice. The requirement calls for delivery as soon as possible following contract award. The place of performance is Albany, Georgia 31704, where the Marine Corps Logistics Command facility is located and where the PLC upgrades for the Blast and Paint operations will be implemented.
