Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land Warren has published a Justification & Approval (J&A) for a sole-source procurement of Inertial Navigation Units (INUs). This J&A outlines the intent to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Honeywell International Inc. for NSN 6605-01-560-3408, part number HG9740CH2 / 13017975. This document is a justification for other than full and open competition and is not a solicitation for proposals.
Purpose & Scope
The procurement is for M150 INUs, which are self-contained units providing acceleration, velocity, and position data. These INUs are specifically required for the dismounted 120 millimeter Mortar Fire Control System Dismounted (MFCS-D) used in land vehicles, watercraft, or aircraft.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price
- Item: Inertial Navigation Unit (INU), NSN 6605-01-560-3408, part number HG9740CH2 / 13017975
- Quantity: Base quantity of 17 units with a 100% option quantity.
- Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source).
Justification for Sole Source
Honeywell International Inc. is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holds proprietary design rights for the required INU. The Government does not possess the necessary Technical Data Package (TDP) or specifications to facilitate competitive re-procurement. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice, yielded no acceptable alternative responses, and no commercial equivalent or other qualified manufacturers were identified. Reverse engineering to develop a competitive TDP is deemed too complex and costly.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a sole-source justification; therefore, no set-aside applies. The contract will include clauses to maximize small business opportunities and utilization in subcontracting.
