4 JA - SPE7M124R0011_Redacted-For Publish.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for solicitation SPE7M11-24-R-0011 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Land and Maritime. The procurement is for the acquisition of Motor, Alternating Current (NSN 6105-01-547-0705) with a base quantity of 144 each and a 200% option for an additional 288 units, for a maximum total of 432 units. The estimated base value is redacted, and the maximum contract value with the 200% option is also redacted.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition, establishing that the supplies are available from only one or a limited number of sources. The sole identified source is L-3 Communications Westwood Corporation (CAGE 58475), part numbers 709056-102 or PL708656 Item 214. The contracting officer determined the item is non-commercial based on FAR 2.101 criteria and the Industrial Specialist tab classification as blank. The item requires engineering source approval (AMSC Code 3/C) to maintain quality and part integrity. The contracting officer verified through market research, including a Sources Sought Notice posted December 21, 2023, through January 5, 2024, and direct contact with eight potential sources, that no viable alternate sources exist. Four responses were received; two indicated no interest or inability to quote, and two acknowledged the item is non-commercial with no commercial pricing available. The anticipated cost to the Government is determined to be fair and reasonable based on review of the most recent previous procurements and market research. The contracting officer (WIEBUSCH.JAMI, signed digitally on September 3, 2024) certified the justification, and the Competition Advocate (PETERSON.GEOR, signed digitally on September 3, 2024) approved it. A Technical Certification memorandum for record, signed by Product Specialist HECKER.JAMES.W on January 23, 2024, supports the limited sources determination.
