Description

The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Huntsville, AL, is seeking to procure guidance sets for the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) under a sole source contract with Lockheed Martin. The procurement involves a firm fixed price one-time buy for an estimated quantity of 10 guidance sets, with specific production lead times of 450 days without first article testing and 675 days with testing. These components are critical for the MLRS weapon system, and the acquisition is restricted to Lockheed Martin due to the lack of available competitive data and the necessity for direct procurement from the manufacturer. Interested businesses, including small and disadvantaged firms, are encouraged to seek source approval to compete for future solicitations, with inquiries directed to Theresa Beshenich at theresa.beshenich@dla.mil. The solicitation is expected to be published on SAM.gov around February 14, 2025.
