Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Huntsville, AL, has issued a Presolicitation for the sole-source acquisition of Patriot Weapon System spares, specifically a Printed Wiring Board (NSN: 5998-01-728-8090, Part#: 13508610). While currently procured from Lockheed Martin under an existing contract, the government is actively seeking other qualified sources for future efforts. Firms are encouraged to identify themselves and seek source approval by April 17, 2026.

Scope of Work

This acquisition is for a Printed Wiring Board (Part#: 13508610) with an estimated annual demand of 150 units (minimum 50 each). The requirement supports the US Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (AMCOM) for the Patriot Weapon System. The period of performance for the underlying contract is one year. Contractors will be responsible for all aspects of manufacturing, supply chain management, logistics, forecasting, long-lead parts procurement, and final delivery.

Contract & Timeline

Type: Presolicitation (for a Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery contract, with a focus on identifying new qualified sources)
Duration: One (1) year period of performance for the requirement
Set-Aside: None specified for the current sole source, but the government encourages all businesses, including 8(A), Small Business, SDB, SDVOSB, HUBZONE, and WOSB concerns, to identify themselves and seek source approval.
Response Due: April 17, 2026

Source Approval & Acquisition Strategy

This acquisition is currently sole-sourced under FAR 6.302-1(A)(2) due to the government not owning data rights and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering. The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center’s (AVMC DEVCOM) System Readiness Directorate (SRD), Sustainment Division (SD) is the engineering source authority. Firms capable of producing the item are strongly encouraged to identify themselves and seek source approval to compete for future efforts. This process involves successfully performing and complying with special requirements and being responsible for recurring and nonrecurring engineering services to become a qualified source.

Additional Notes

No telephone requests will be accepted; all communication should be directed via email to Lewis Fournet (lewis.fournet@dla.mil). The acquisition may involve technical data restricted by the Arms Export Control Act. The official solicitation, amendments, and any other information will be issued via SAM.gov.
