Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.103-2)

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under FAR 6.103-2, prepared by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support for a one-time buy of spare parts. The contracting activity is procuring various valves (regulating, linear directional control, flow control, and safety relief valves) with a total of 11 line items and quantities ranging from 8 to 109 units per part. The contract type is Firm-Fixed Price with a fixed quantity and no option. The estimated total contract value, including all 11 units of issue, is redacted in the document.

The sole justified source is Leslie Controls, Inc. (CAGE 35795), with whom DLA Weapons Support has an existing Formula Pricing Agreement (FPA) originally executed on July 23, 2026. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) as the statutory authority, asserting that the supplies are interchangeable spare parts for currently supported end items or weapon systems and that Leslie Controls is the only known source with capability to meet the agency's urgent need and the only currently approved source by the design control activity. A price analysis was conducted on each National Stock Number (NSN) to estimate fair and current prices adjusted for time and quantity. The market research revealed no competing sources through procurement history review, general internet search, GSA Advantage, or CID database searches, with the Contracting Specialist determining that these NSNs are non-commercial items. The justification was signed by Contracting Officer Rich Amy Charlene on August 19, 2026, and approved by Competition Advocate Jamie Wiebusch on the same date. Approval requirements designated this action to Competition Advocate level due to the estimated contract value exceeding $10,000,000.
