The eventual contract is intended to be awarded as commercial using FAR Part 12 (Class Deviation 2026-O0028) procedures. The items support various weapon systems. DLA-Direct shipments will be to any DLA depot. Customer-direct shipments may be to any DLA customer. The estimated solicitation issue date for the Request for Proposal is 18 January 2027.
