Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is justifying a sole-source acquisition for Bus Conductor (NSN/PN: 6150-01-472-6921). This justification, published on June 15, 2026, outlines the intent to acquire 19 units from Semco (CAGE 24735) due to limited availability.
Scope & Justification
The requirement is for 19 units of the "Bus Conductor" (NSN/PN: 6150-01-472-6921). The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits acquisition from only one or a limited number of sources. Efforts to promote competition included a sources sought notice posted on October 16, 2025, which yielded no responses. The sole source restriction to Semco is based on AMSC B (requiring acquisition from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing) and AMC 3 (acquiring, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer).
Contract Details

Acquisition Process
The requirement will be posted to DIBBS (Defense Internet Based Defense System), and a synopsis will be posted. The anticipated cost will be determined to be fair and reasonable. A technical certification is required for acquisitions exceeding $15 million, which does not apply to this opportunity.
