About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded contract SPRDL1-26-D-0026 to Robertson Fuel Systems, L.L.C. on a sole-source basis for Engine Fuel Tank NSN 2910-01-620-2142, part number HM045-010-11 / 12535649, used on the Bradley A3 Fighting Vehicle, with award on June 22, 2026.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source. Robertson Fuel Systems is the sole manufacturer with access to proprietary technical data and test equipment necessary to produce and validate the fuel tank. The government lacks sufficient technical data rights for competitive re-procurement, and reverse engineering would require substantial time and cost with uncertain outcomes. A Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on October 23, 2024, generated no responses. Market research identified other manufacturers capable of self-healing fuel bladders, but none can currently produce a drop-in replacement compatible with the Bradley A3 vehicle without extensive reverse engineering and validation testing.
The contract is firm-fixed-price with a five-year term. Minimum quantity is 266 units per year with a maximum of 3,500 units over the five-year period. This is an Acquisition Method Code 3 procurement (acquire directly from manufacturer for the second or subsequent time) with Acquisition Method Suffix Code B (source control restricted). The prior contract (SPE7L3-24-P-6790) was awarded July 10, 2024, to Integrated Procurement Technologies for $791,654.25. The contracting officer determined anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on detailed cost and pricing analysis, requiring certified cost or pricing data.
