24-SIMACQ-D60-0004_Redacted JA_05102024.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract for Timken Bearings under Solicitation Number N6339424Q0070. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) requires Timken bearings to support the 24-SIMACQ-D60-0004 program. The J&A provides the rationale for a sole source award to Timken as the original equipment manufacturer, noting Timken as the only known responsible source that can meet the agency's requirements. The J&A specifies the estimated value of the contract as $1,200,000 and the period of performance as one year. It cites the authority for other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as the only source or supplier of the required product. The J&A concludes with the determination that use of other than full and open competition is in the best interest of the government.
