About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued a sole-source Justification and Approval for contract SPRDL1-26-C-0020, awarded to KVH Industries, Inc. on November 5, 2025, for the procurement of Gunner's Display Units designed for the M119A3 105MM Towed Howitzer. The contract involves a firm-fixed-price arrangement for 39 base units with an option for an additional 39 units, with the previous contract award to KVH Industries in December 2020 valued at $123,309.00 for 27 units. The sole-source justification is based on KVH Industries' unique technical capability, as the company has previously produced over 500 fielded units with a proprietary display configuration critical to the howitzer's digital fire control system and has successfully met all First Article Test requirements. The government determined that reverse engineering the display unit would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, with estimated costs of $1.35 million and a minimum development timeline of two years, making competition impractical. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov, yielded no alternative sources, thereby supporting the sole-source procurement determination and contractor certification that pricing is fair and reasonable.
