RFP Control Panel; Sole Source to DRS

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure 32 Control Panels (Part Number 7002924-1, NSN 5836-01-556-9104) for the M109 Paladin and Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) through a Request for Proposal titled "RFP Control Panel; Sole Source to DRS." This one-time buy will be placed on the existing subsumable contract SPRRA2-20-D-0012 in support of the Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Program Office, with firm-fixed pricing for a one-year period. Proposal submission requirements include providing an un-sanitized cost breakdown in Microsoft Excel format, documentation of indirect expense rates, identification of key personnel, and addressing potential organizational conflicts of interest. While the government file summary indicates proposals were originally due by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on September 15, 2025, the solicitation notice shows an October 15, 2025 due date, and all proposals must remain valid for 180 days. The contracting point of contact is Anna Phillips, Contracting Officer, with questions directed to Kelsey Brown, Contract Specialist.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and appears to be structured as a sole source procurement to DRS Network & Imaging Systems, LLC, though DLA reserves the right to accommodate additional suppliers if interest is expressed. The solicitation does not specify award values or budget ranges for the 32 control panels being procured. The procurement is categorized under PSC 5836 for Video Recording and Reproducing Equipment, though the NAICS classification shows Sound Recording Studios (512240). Performance will take place in Melbourne, Florida 32935, and the contract structure involves placement on an existing subsumable contract with firm-fixed pricing terms. The solicitation has been advertised on beta.SAM.gov to ensure proper market notification despite the sole source nature of the procurement.
