About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of barrel self-locking nuts (NSN 5310-01-101-0188) under solicitation SPE4A725R0552. The justification is based on AMSC P, indicating that the government does not own the rights to use data for additional sources, which limits competition for this specialized hardware component. The procurement structure is a firm fixed-price indefinite quantity contract requiring 880 units over a 5-year base period, with a contract value not to exceed $750,000. Despite conducting market research that identified three potential sources (Bristol Industries LLC, SPS Technologies LLC, and Space-Lok Inc.) and posting a sources sought notice on July 8, 2025, only one contractor was encouraged to submit a Source Approval Request package, though they ultimately did not submit it. The contract was awarded on July 30, 2025, to an unknown vendor for an undisclosed amount, reflecting the limited competition environment due to the proprietary data restrictions associated with this specialized aerospace fastener component.
