About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) document authorizing a sole-source contract with Honeywell International for the procurement of Repair Kits for Condensers (NSN 2540-01-377-7820) used in Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) Protection Systems for Abrams vehicles. The J&A was awarded on November 18, 2025, under FAR 6.302-1 for "Only One Responsible Source," justified by Honeywell's proprietary design specifications and the prohibitive cost and effort—estimated at approximately $8 million—required to reverse engineer the condenser component. DLA's market research and a 30-day Sources Sought Notice posted in July 2023 yielded no alternative vendors capable of producing a compatible condenser without substantial redesign and testing. The contract calls for the procurement of 455 repair kits with an option for an additional 455 units, totaling 910 kits, with the specific contract value redacted in the publicly available documentation. This firm-fixed price contract was structured to maximize small business subcontracting opportunities and follows previous procurement history with the same vendor dating back to 2006.
