Accumulator, Replenisher System

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a justification for limiting competition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for a new requirement. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island is procuring spare components for the M109 Paladin platform.

• The procurement is for spare Parker Hannifin accumulators and coolers, specifically part number manufactured by Parker Hannifin Accumulator & Cooler division.

• These components are essential for the Rock Island Arsenal-Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center (RIA-JMTC) to support operations of the M109 Paladins, specifically for assembling the top-level gun mount.

• Contract Vehicle: Purchase Order Number W519TC26QA013

• Pricing: Fixed Price

• Funds: Operations & Maintenance, Army

• Proposed Contractor: Parker Hannifin

• Total Estimated Value: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be under the SAT.

• This document serves as a justification for a sole-source award to Parker Hannifin.

• The authority cited is FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A) / FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A) due to urgency and the unique capabilities of the contractor.

• Market research conducted on 15 September 2025 indicates that the specific accumulator drawing (11640231) is made for the M109 Paladin and is not a common off-the-shelf item. Other manufacturers could not meet the specifications for working pressure and tank size.

• The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost or price will be fair and reasonable based on FAR 13.106-3(a)(2)(vii), with the vendor potentially required to submit other than pricing data.

• This action is a brand name buy (Yes).

• Competition is limited due to the specific nature of the part and urgency.

• The document indicates that the public display and synopsis requirements of FAR 5.101 and 5.203 do not apply due to an exception at FAR 5.202 (a)(13).
