1.20 J&A SPRMM126PMC50_JF_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (J&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy, DLA Maritime – Mechanicsburg, for the procurement of test flash point equipment.

The contracting activity is DLA Maritime – Mechanicsburg (Folder #25129-0085, PD #N0010425X5764). The procurement seeks to acquire 100 units of TEST, FLASH POINT equipment (NSN 6630017251759, P/N FPH-VISION) with an expected final delivery date of 03/18/2026. The justification cites 10 USC 3204(A)(1) as the statutory authority, permitting procurement through other than full and open competition based on the availability of only one or a limited number of responsible sources. The contracting officer determined that the only known procurement source is PETROLAB LLC (DRRB), as this item is the only known source to meet performance and compatibility requirements. The item requires testing and qualification within approved testing specification procedures, embedded coding procedures, design products, and internal QA requirements. Market research was conducted and confirmed PETROLAB LLC as the sole source of supply. The item has no authorized substitutes and must meet higher assembly performance and compatibility requirements. A Request for Information/Sources Sought Notice was posted on 03/16/2026, resulting in one response from B&H International LLC requesting inclusion on solicitation distribution, but no other responses were received. The anticipated cost to the Government is determined to be fair and reasonable based on detailed cost and price analysis as a commercial product. Actions to promote future competition include encouraging vendors to submit complete technical data packages for source approval by the appropriate engineering authority and advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry.
