About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has awarded a sole-source contract to Northrop Grumman (CAGE 8K969) for M230 30MM Chain Gun Receivers under contract SPRDL1-26-C-0110, effective June 16, 2026, on the basis of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source.
The receiver is the fundamental component providing attachment points and support for all M230 Gun subassemblies used on the AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter. The Government lacks pertinent technical data and necessary intellectual property rights to enable competitive re-procurement. Prior inquiries to the original equipment manufacturer to purchase or license proprietary technical data were declined on strategic grounds. Market research through a Sources Sought Notice posted June 6, 2025 (open 14 days) yielded no responses, and supplemental online searches returned no meaningful results outside OEM channels. Procurement history shows prior awards to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (May 2023, $201,508.00) and Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC (June 2017, $225,370.95), both under sole-source authority. The contract specifies a base quantity of 16 units with a 100 percent option quantity for a total of 32 units on a firm-fixed-price basis, funded through Army Working Capital Funds. Fair and reasonable cost determination will be based on detailed cost/price analysis; the contractor is not required to submit certified cost or pricing data as this item is determined to be a commercial product. Unless Northrop Grumman qualifies as a small business, the contract will include FAR clauses requiring small business subcontracting competition and utilization provisions.
