A02 MFR - Limiting Competition under SAT Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for limiting competition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for a procurement action by the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal.

The procurement is for seal assembly, buffer seal packing, and wiper ring parts for the M119A3 Howitzer, with a fixed-price purchase order contract vehicle. The sole proposed contractor is Seal Dynamics, identified as the only authorized dealer for Green Tweed approved source parts as specified in the engineering drawings. The contracting activity determined that Green Tweed's sole authorized dealer status and exclusive manufacturing partnership make Seal Dynamics the only reasonable source capable of providing the required supplies. The justification cites the unique capabilities and authorized dealer relationship as the basis for the single-source award. Market research was completed on August 11, 2026, confirming Seal Dynamics' continued status as the sole authorized dealer. Funding is obligated under AWCF for fiscal year 2026. The anticipated cost or price to the Government will be determined through quote comparison against estimated costs and procurement history to ensure price fairness and reasonableness. The public display and synopsis requirements of RFO FAR 5.101 and 5.301 apply and will be followed.
