Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land Warren has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the procurement of Boresight Kits (NSN 1240-01-545-5147) for the Remote Weapon System (RWS) on Stryker vehicles. This J&A, published on May 26, 2026, justifies an other than full and open competition (sole-source) acquisition for 356 kits due to the government's lack of technical data rights and the high cost of reverse engineering.
Purpose & Scope
This document serves as a Justification and Approval for the non-competitive acquisition of Boresight Kits (NSN 1240-01-545-5147, Government Part Number 4-1250BRE Kit). These kits are essential for properly sighting-in the RWS mounted on Stryker family of vehicles and are unique due to their specific caliber, capability, and ammunition. The procurement includes a base quantity of 178 kits and an option for an additional 178 kits, totaling 356 units.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: New Firm-Fixed-Price.
- Acquisition Method: Other Than Full and Open Competition (Sole Source).
- Acquisition Method Code (AMC): 3 (Acquire for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer).
- Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC): D (Data needed to produce this item from additional sources is not physically available).
- Quantities: 178 each (base), 178 each (option), total 356 each.
- Estimated Value: Not explicitly stated in the J&A.
Procurement Strategy
The sole-source procurement is justified because the government does not possess the rights to the Technical Data Package (TDP) or specifications for the Boresight Kit, nor did it contribute to its development or testing. Developing a competitive build-to-print TDP through reverse engineering is estimated to cost $4,400,000.00. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice on SAM.gov (August 5, 2025) and web-based searches, yielded no alternative sources. Previous procurements for this item were also sole-source to Graflex Inc. (now Salvo Technologies Inc.).

Additional Notes
The item has been determined to be a commercial item. While this is a sole-source justification, subcontracting clauses will be included to maximize small business opportunities. An earlier solicitation (SPRDL1-25-R-0245) for this item, which had an offer due date of March 16, 2026, is superseded by this J&A for other than full and open competition.
