About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued a Justification and Approval document on September 9, 2025, to support a sole-source procurement of circulating fans (NSN 4140-01-464-9823) for the M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, with the contract awarded to Rotron Incorporated on March 31, 2026, under contract number SPRDL1-26-C-0078. The procurement covers 86 units of the specified fan component, which the government determined could only be sourced from Rotron due to that company's exclusive ownership of the technical data rights and sole capability to manufacture, analyze, and test the component and its subsystems. The justification cited 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under FAR 6.302-1 as the statutory authority for the "Only One Responsible Source" exception to competitive bidding, noting that reverse engineering would require substantial investment with payback requiring years of competitive savings. Although market research through a Sources Sought Notice identified three interested sources, only Flight Source Inc. completed vendor documentation, and prior procurements with Flight Source Inc. utilized other-than-new material, limiting that vendor's viability for this new equipment requirement. The specific contract value and reverse engineering cost estimates were redacted from the public document.
