Contract & Timeline

Type: Firm Fixed-Price Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA)
Duration: Five (5) years (five annual agreement periods)
Awardee: D. Gillette Industrial Services LLC
Award Date: June 1, 2026
Set-Aside: None (Sole Source)

Justification for Sole Source

The award to D. Gillette Industrial Services LLC was made on a sole-source basis due to their unique possession of proprietary tools, fixtures, and workstations required for the efficient and accurate repair and upgrade of the CSD units. Market research, including an RFI and a pre-solicitation synopsis (Notice ID N6833526R1046) published on SAM.gov, yielded zero responses from other potential vendors. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst (NAWCAD LKE) determined that using an alternate vendor would result in significant schedule delays, increased costs, and potential compromise of quality and reliability, thereby jeopardizing operational readiness.
