This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form S53) for a Defense Logistics Agency Aviation procurement of hydraulic cylinders (NSN 1630-01-082-9843) with a 5-year quantity of 1,120 units. The procurement is structured as a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period and no options.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the authority for limited competition, with AMC 1 indicating this is suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time. A sources sought notice was posted on Contract Opportunities on 08/26/24, receiving one response, though the contractor did not submit a Source Approval Request package. The approved sources are Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE: 78286) and Eaton Aerospace LLC (CAGE: 99643), while Jamaica Bearings Co. Inc. (CAGE: 04836) is listed as a distributor for an approved source. The justification indicates technical data is not available to permit full and open competition, and the procurement will be synopsized on 09/12/24. The document was approved by the Competition Advocate on 9.24.24, as the acquisition value falls between $750,000 and $15 million.
