About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.103-1) for a single or limited number of responsible sources procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Weapons Support (Columbus).
The contracting activity is acquiring Universal Helmet Mount Assembly (uHMA) supplies on an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract basis for a 5-year base period with no option periods. The contract type is Firm-Fixed Price. The end item is classified as Enhanced Night Vision Goggle III (ENVG III) and Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular (ENVG-B) equipment. The sole identified source is Wilcox Industries Corp (CAGE 004F1). The procurement is being synopsized for 14 days on SAM.gov approximately 2 weeks before award.
The justification for limited competition is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) under AMC 3 authority, citing the need to acquire directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time. Market research efforts conducted in September 2025 included a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on September 5, 2025, which yielded only one response from Wilcox Industries Corporation. A market survey identified Wilcox as the current manufacturer with multiple authorized resellers, but direct procurement from Wilcox is deemed most cost effective. Procurement history review identified two prior contracts (W91CRB24D0001 with Elbit and W91CRB24D0002 with L3 Harris) that included this item, but both companies functioned as resellers rather than manufacturers. A general internet search yielded no alternative manufacturing sources. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established through price and cost analysis compared to historical prices and proposed pricing data. The solicitation includes a DLAD Procurement Note L04 allowing alternate offers and requests for technical acceptability evaluation of alternative products for future procurements.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SOLICITATION NO.: SPRBL126R0008
[x] The acquisition will be synopsized about 2 weeks for a period of 14days.
7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
A price analysis will be conducted based on a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation and/or a comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid. Data other than certified cost or pricing data, will be requested and obtained as necessary to establish a fair and reasonable price, and a cost analysis may be performed on the data submitted.
8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Army.
