This document is a Justification Review Document and Memorandum for Record - Absence of Competition for the National Guard Bureau, detailing a sole-source procurement for re-manufacture of C-130 Flap Jack Screws. The contract is valued at $98,000, will be a firm fixed-price purchase, and is being awarded to Linear Motion, LLC as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The requirement involves overhauling specific C-130 inboard flap jackscrew parts (8545M1 and 8445M1) to original technical order and military standards.

The procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1) for solicitation from a single source. Market research conducted by C-130 Systems Engineers and Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) confirmed no alternative sources exist for these specialized parts. The contracting activity (189 MXG) has determined that Linear Motion possesses the highest level of expertise to ensure proper overhauling and functionality. Interested parties may submit capability statements to TSgt Ryan Bernaiche by April 30, 2025, though the government retains sole discretion on competition determination.
