This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.103-1) for solicitation SPE7L126Q1195 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus). The acquisition seeks battery power supplies with NSN 6130016132616 in a quantity of 907 units plus a 100% option, for multiple vessel types including Littoral Combat Ships, Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC), Arleigh Burke Class DDGs, and Avenger Class MCMs. The contract is structured as firm-fixed price with a fixed quantity for a one-time buy.

The justification limits competition to L3 Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 0B107, P/N LFG-094-A3) as the sole approved source under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and AMSC 3 authority, acquired directly from the actual manufacturer. The Government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with items currently in use on supported end items. Market research and sources sought efforts conducted in March 2026 identified only three potential vendors (Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., Maxa Beam Searchlights Inc., and King Lewis Investments LLC), with only two responding to indicate limited interest and availability through the original equipment manufacturer. A price analysis will be conducted based on proposed prices and historical pricing data. The contracting officer (Danielle K. Jilton) approved this justification on July 7, 2026, with approval authority up to $10,000,000.
