About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to award a firm-fixed price contract to Northrop Grumman, the original equipment manufacturer and sole source, for 32 receiver cartridges used in the M230 30mm automatic guns on AH-64 Apache attack helicopters. As the designer and producer of the M230 gun system, with over 100 interfacing parts and a 50,000 round qualification standard, Northrop Grumman is the only source able to meet the Army's reliability needs, and reverse engineering the receiver design was estimated to cost $6.76 million and take a minimum of 64 months, rendering 64 Apaches inoperable for the lead time and preventing cost recovery within a reasonable timeframe.
