About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command issued a sole-source justification (J&A) for the procurement of Skate Mount Assemblies (NSN 2350-01-612-9056), specialized components used on M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank systems for the Loader's Armored Gun Shield (LAGS) II. The contract was awarded to Merrill Technologies (CAGE code 3DTR4), the original equipment manufacturer and sole approved contractor for this highly specialized assembly, on April 15, 2026. The sole-source justification was authorized under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) because Merrill Technologies is the only source capable of producing this component to the required military specifications, the Government lacks the necessary technical data package for competitive procurement, and market research conducted in September and October 2024 identified no alternative commercial sources. The firm-fixed-price contract is valued at $926,244.68 for 38 units with an option for an additional 38 units (76 units total), with the Government estimating that reverse engineering to enable competition would cost approximately $1.4 million and require approximately 23 years to recoup savings. The justification was approved on March 3, 2025, by the Command Advocate for Competition and posted on April 16, 2026.
