J and A SPE7LX25R0035 Redacted for Release 6-8-2026.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for a limited number of responsible sources procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime.

The procurement (Solicitation No. SPE7LX25R0035) is for a Seal Replacement Kit (NSN 1005-01-501-1528, Part No. 8305854) under an Indefinite Delivery Contract with an Indefinite Quantity structure. The contract will have a 5-year base period with 1 option year and 2 total options. The annual demand is 175 units. The Government is restricting this acquisition to two approved sources: Pattonair USA, Inc. (CAGE 046U2) and Sey Tec, Inc. (CAGE 0FGC4). The justification cites the requirement that spare parts be form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on supported end items and weapon systems, including the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser (E2N) and other critical Navy systems. The authority for this limited competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), based on the need for engineering source approval and design control activity maintenance. The solicitation was scheduled to synopsize on August 10, 2025, for 15 days and be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board for a minimum of 30 days.

Market research conducted January 30 through February 10, 2025, contacted four vendors: Pattonair, Sey Tec, Brighton Cromwell, and AnA Sourcing. All four responded with interest. A Sources Sought Notice posted January 30, 2025, for five business days yielded no responses. Procurement history shows most previous contracts were awarded to Sey-Tec with recent awards to AnA Sourcing. The Government will conduct price analysis comparing proposed prices to historical prices and will request certified cost or pricing data as necessary under FAR 15.403-4. Competition Advocate approval was obtained for this justification, which requires Competition Advocate signature authority. The contract maximum value is redacted in the document.
