AI summary Beta
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation, Huntsville, AL) wants a price proposal for 50 circuit card assemblies (NSN 6130-01-681-8278, P/N 12571107) used on the Army's Improved Bradley Acquisition Subsystem. The notice is a letter RFP addressed to one company, DRS Network and Imaging Systems, and says the buy is sole sourced to it, so this is not open to other bidders. Deliveries would start 360 days after an order, as an add-on to an existing DRS/DLA umbrella contract.
Watch out for
- Sole source to one named company. The RFP is addressed to DRS Network and Imaging Systems and the item is declared sole sourced, so a small business that is not DRS cannot realistically win this.
This requirement is sole sourced to DRS Network and Imaging Systems, Inc. CAGE 32865 in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)
- Export-controlled technical data and JCP certification. The drawings are not on SAM.gov and can only be obtained through DoD SAFE by parties with active JCP certification, and DLA will not delay award for anyone who lacks it.
Export Control requires the applicable certifications to be current for both the quoter and manufacturer.
- Conflicting performance year and proposal validity. The notice says ideally FY2028 but also says to price one ordering period (FY27), and gives 90 days validity in one place and 180 days in another, so terms need clarification.
Proposal(s) shall remain valid for a minimum of ninety (90) days from receipt by the Government.
- Cost data and First Article Test burden. Detailed cost data (ProPricer workbook) can be demanded, and a contractor-tested First Article Test (possibly plus Production Lot Test) may be required and priced separately.
Failure to provide Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing data will result in the offer being deemed inadequate and/or deficient.
- Long delivery lead time and no guaranteed quantities. Deliveries start 360 days after the order, and the quantities are only estimates the government does not have to order.
DELIVERIES SHALL COMMENCE 360 DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF DELIVERY ORDER AT A RATE OF 50 EACH FOR ONE MONTH.
- Short response window. The offer is due 2026-10-13 about one month after posting, and receipt must be acknowledged within 3 business days.
