SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the 30MM Gun Housing, NSN 1005-01-026-7132, PN 205F120. ITEM DESCRIPTION: The 30mm Gun Housing, part number 205F120, is a major component of the gun along with the gun rotor assembly, seven bolt assemblies, solenoid assembly, mid barrel support assembly, muzzle clamp assembly, and seven barrels. The gun housing contains the cam, which controls movement of bolt assemblies during gun rotation. In addition, the gun housing provides a mount for several associated parts such as ammunition transfer assembly, solenoid assembly, recoil spindle assemblies and rotor assembly. Proven capable against armor targets, GAU-8 ammunition is currently in use with the 30mm GAU-8/A Gatling gun on the U.S. Air Force A-10 close support aircraft. In short, the housing contains the gun parts and provides shock resistant gun mounts for the A-10 aircraft. IMPEDIMENT TO COMPETITION: The original equipment manufacturer for this item is General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) (CAGE 05606), which maintains its configuration by part number and software version. The Government h as a complete but insufficient Technical Data Package (TDP) for this item that will require verification and validation of 3D solid models before open competition can occur. As a result, GD-OTS is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the 30MM Gun Housing performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST: The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to GD-OTS for the manufacture of the 30MM Gun Housing in support of the A-10 aircraft program. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 30 November 2016 by emailing Jacqueline Mulkey at jacqueline.mulkey@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1. Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
