About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of 728 Bendix Air Dryer Assemblies (NSN 4120-01-555-5461) with an option for an additional 728 units, totaling 1,456 potential units for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) MaxxPro vehicles. The contract was awarded to Bendix on August 20, 2025, as they are the only approved manufacturer of these specialized air dryer assemblies that are critical for vehicle compressed air systems by removing liquid and vapor contaminants. The sole source justification is based on Bendix being the only responsible source capable of providing the required components, with the government lacking sufficient technical data to competitively re-procure the item and estimating reverse engineering costs at $830,000. Market research conducted in November 2024 and a Sources Sought Notice posted in January 2025 yielded no alternative suppliers capable of directly replacing the specialized equipment. While the specific contract value is redacted, the procurement will be funded through Army Working Capital Funds, and the contract includes small business subcontracting clauses if not awarded to a small business.
