This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) document for solicitation SPE7L126Q0393 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus).

The contracting activity seeks to acquire 73 each brake shoes (NSN 3040-01-562110/BCA 1209, AMSC 3D) for Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical (HEMTT) trucks under a firm-fixed-price contract with fixed quantity and 100% option. The acquisition is restricted to BC Engineered Products (CAGE 82SX4) as the only known source with capability and design control approval to furnish the required supplies. Statutory authority for the single-source procurement is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under FAR 6.302-1, AMC 3, permitting acquisition from the manufacturer on a second or subsequent procurement when technical data is unavailable, economically unobtainable, or inadequate specifications cannot be drafted. The estimated contract value is not disclosed due to redaction. A sources sought notice was posted to SAM.gov on December 10, 2025, for five business days with no responses. Market research conducted November 3, 2025, identified BC Engineered Products as the approved manufacturing source; a secondary source (Bendix Spicer, CAGE 5PKQ4) was contacted but later removed from the approved list after verification that the part is obsolete. Solicitation will be synopsized and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 10 days, with anticipated award around January 12, 2026. Price fairness will be evaluated through comparison of proposed prices to historical data and certified cost information. The Competition Advocate approved this justification on February 25, 2026, as required for contracts exceeding $900,000.
