About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA-WRN) issued a sole-source justification for contract award SPRDL1-26-C-0059 to Honeywell International, Inc. Aerospace-Torrance on February 3, 2026, for the procurement of heat exchanger components critical to the M1 Abrams Tank family of vehicles. The contract encompasses three component types: precoolers, air coolers, and condensers, with a base quantity of 323 units each and an option quantity of 323 units each, totaling 646 units per component type. The sole-source award was justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because Honeywell possesses exclusive technical data, manufacturing capability, and source-controlled access necessary to produce components that meet the M1 Abrams' integrated Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical protection system requirements; market research conducted through a September 2023 Sources Sought Notice and evaluation of three alternative manufacturers (Meggitt Defense Systems, Triumph Group Operations, and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation) confirmed no viable alternative sources existed. The estimated contract value is $4.8 million on a firm-fixed-price basis, with the competition advocate's approval granted on April 15, 2024, reflecting the government's inability to obtain a complete technical data package or reverse engineer these components within reasonable cost and schedule parameters without risking the tank's critical NBC protection system functionality.
