About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of Driver's Switch and Indicator Panel (DSIP) Assembly units, National Stock Number 2510016818841, used in Bradley A4 Vehicles and Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles. The contract was awarded to DRS NIS, LLC on September 26, 2025, for 148 units with an additional 148-unit option, totaling 296 units under a firm-fixed-price arrangement. The sole source justification is based on DRS NIS, LLC's unique manufacturing capabilities, the lack of available technical data packages, and the prohibitively high cost of reverse engineering the component, which the government estimated at approximately $7,022,168. The agency conducted extensive market research, including posting a Sources Sought Notice on SAM.gov, but received only one response from BHPE, LLC, confirming the limited vendor pool. The award was made under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits other than full and open competition when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements, though the government is working with DRS under a System Technical Support Contract to potentially develop additional data for qualifying alternative sources in the future.
