J and A Other than Full and Open signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a sole-source contract award valued under $10 million.

The 18th Civil Engineer Squadron at Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) seeks to procure specialized truck fillstand replacement components from Bay Associates on a sole-source basis. The acquisition covers replacement materials for six truck fillstands at Kadena Air Base, including 19 manufacturer-specific components such as Franklin Valve D711-301G-LR/DTR 6-inch plug valves, Titan BS 85-SS basket strainers, Cla-Val control valves, Liquid Controls meters, Cla-Val pantographs, stainless-steel spool pieces, eccentric reducers, meter supports, adjustable pipe supports, flanged connections, Magnetrol flow switches, Trerice pressure gauges, Dwyer pressure snubbers, Flo-Tite ball valves, and Gammon sample kits. The replacement effort is mandated by Department of War and federal compliance standards governing fuel handling systems, including UFM 3-460-01 and WBDG Fueling Systems criteria requiring corrosion-resistant, safety-certified, OEM-approved equipment. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, establishing that only Bay Associates—as the authorized Cla-Val distributor—can provide the complete, specification-compliant integrated package. Market research confirmed that competing vendors could supply only partial materials and lack access to all 19 manufacturers or custom fabrication capabilities. Pricing is aligned with Independent Government Estimates and supported by market research. The Government will pursue future competition through standardization efforts and expanded vendor engagement to identify suppliers capable of delivering complete material packages.
