About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded contract SPRDL1-26-C-0094 to BEI Precision Systems & Space Division on a sole-source basis for an Absolute Rotary-Angle Optical Shaft Encoder on May 21, 2026.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source. BEI is the original equipment manufacturer and sole source with specialized design attributes and testing expertise unique to the Abrams tank program, including nuclear, biological, and chemical survivability requirements. The Government lacks the necessary intellectual property data rights and technical data to enable competitive reprocurement. Competitive reverse engineering would cost an estimated $3,010,000 and require significant time delays. A Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov for 30 days resulted in no responses.
The contract is a two-year firm-fixed-price agreement with one one-year option for a base quantity of 6 units with a 100% option requirement for a total of 12 units. Work supports the M1A2 family of vehicles, including the M1A2 SEPV2, M1A2 SEPV3, M1A2 KUW, M1A2K KUW, M1A2S, and M1A2T TAIWAN Abrams Tank. Place of performance is Maumelle, Arkansas. The contract will be fully funded using Army Working Capital Funds. Efforts to obtain competition through small business subcontracting include FAR clauses 52.219-8, 52.244-5, 52.219-16, and DFARS 252.219-7003.
