4.1 7007763606 J&A Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, seeking to acquire 40 Radial Piston Pumps for an Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) with a unique procurement approach. The solicitation (SPE7L125R0026) identifies IVECO DEFENCE VEHICLES S.P.A. as the sole source, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition due to being the only known source with necessary manufacturing data and rights.

The procurement involves a first-time buy originally estimated under $250,000 but subsequently exceeding that threshold. Market research included a sources sought posting and direct vendor outreach to multiple companies (BHPE, JGILS, Hoosier Industries, Pioneer Industries, TN Sales, and Iveco), with limited competitive interest. The Contracting Officer determined the item to be non-commercial, thus justifying the use of FAR 15 procedures. The total estimated value is redacted, but the document indicates the procurement will be synopsized on DIBBS for 15 days and the Contracting Officer anticipates the cost will be fair and reasonable.
