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 Exit Drum Cover, NSN 1005-00-570-3722, PN 198F216. ITEM DESCRIPTION The Exit Drum Cover is used on the A-10 aircraft. This item is used in the ammo storage of the GAU-8 gun. The 30mm GAU-8 Gun is an air cooled, seven barrel, Gatling type weapon, capable of firing up to 3800 Shots Per Minute (SPM). This is the exit drum cover that accepts rounds from the ammo exit unit and passes round cases in the firing direction and live rounds in the reverse direction. The exit drum then stores empty cases in the drum. 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 does not own any data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, GD-OTS is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the 30mm Exit Drum Cover 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 Exit Drum Cover 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 21 SEP 2016 by emailing jacqueline.mulkey@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure this item 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.
