About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama is conducting market research to procure spares and repair services for military vehicle components, specifically for the M109 Paladin and Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV). The agency seeks to acquire 255 Reticle Assembly units (P/N: 12577849) and perform repair services on 45 units, along with 25 Sensor Gimbal units (P/N: 7002925-7) requiring tear down, inspection, and evaluation. The procurement will be a firm-fixed price, one-time buy contract placed on an existing subsumable contract supporting the Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Program Office. Contractors must meet prequalification requirements and demonstrate capability to perform specialized engineering services, supply chain management, and logistics support. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on May 19, 2025, with a response deadline of May 22, 2025, though the agency emphasizes this is an informational document and not a formal solicitation.
The current procurement is not set aside for any specific business category, though the government expressed interest in receiving responses from 8(a), small business, small disadvantaged business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The anticipated award is planned to be made to DRS Network & Imaging Systems, LLC (CAGE Code: 32865) utilizing Other than Full and Open Competition under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, indicating a sole-source procurement. Contractors will be responsible for comprehensive manufacturing and production processes, including long-lead parts procurement, material forecasting, and addressing potential obsolescence issues. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the contract will cover recurring and non-recurring engineering services associated with becoming a qualified source. The government explicitly states that no funds are available to compensate firms for response preparation, and submissions are strictly voluntary.
