About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base seeks lithium coin battery kits for the Universal Water Activated Release System (UWARS), with proposals due July 6, 2026. This is an unrestricted, negotiated procurement under Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rated order authority, classified under NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing) and PSC 1377 (Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Devices and Components).
Place of performance is the United States. The procurement sources approximately 12,521 units for Foreign Military Sales cases across 20 countries and NATO, plus separate U.S. Air Force requirements, with F.O.B. Origin delivery from the Continental United States. The item is designated a Critical Safety Item requiring source qualification prior to award. Only United States and Canadian suppliers are eligible. Currently approved sources are Cobham Mission Systems/Eaton (Davenport, Iowa; CAGE 99251) and Stratus Systems, Inc. (Belle Chasse, Louisiana; CAGE 3AX04). New sources may submit proposals with qualification packages; qualification requires an estimated $5,000 to $50,000 in testing costs and approximately 360 days to complete, though the government will award to a qualified source regardless of qualification status of other bidders.
All contractor personnel must comply with ISO 9001:2015 quality standards and achieve CMMC Level 1 cybersecurity certification. Deliverables include Ammunition Data Cards, Engineering Change Proposals, Test/Inspection Reports, and Failure Summary & Analysis Reports, all subject to DCMA and DFAS payment withholding until Contract Data Requirements List items A001, A005, and A006 are approved. Pricing is Firm Fixed Price with a 120-day firm price hold period. Evaluation weighs technical factors (Qualified Vendor status and Schedule) as significantly more important than price; Schedule evaluation assesses Work Breakdown Structure, defined milestones, and realistic task durations in formats not exceeding 10 pages (Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, or Project). Price is evaluated for reasonableness and Total Evaluated Price across all CLINs.
