JA 11 Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (6.103-2) document issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support for a one-time buy of various valve spare parts under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, using a Firm-Fixed Price contract type.

The acquisition seeks 11 different valve nomenclatures (regulating, linear directional control, flow control, and safety relief valves) across Federal Supply Class (FSC) 4820, with quantities ranging from 8 to 109 units per item. The estimated total contract value is redacted but references an attached spreadsheet for specific pricing details. The sole source award is being made to Leslie Controls, Inc. (CAGE Code 35795) based on a Formula Price Agreement (FPA) originally executed on July 23, 2026. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) as the statutory authority, asserting that Leslie Controls is the only source known to possess capability of meeting the Agency's urgent need for spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with currently used items and approved by the design control activity. The contracting officer determined fair and reasonable pricing through price analysis on each National Stock Number (NSN), negotiating toward an FPA to reduce profit and renego annually based on efficiencies and volume. Market research efforts included procurement history review, general Internet searches, and GSA Advantage/CID database searches, all yielding no alternative sources. The document is signed by Contracting Officer Rich Amy Charlene (dated August 19, 2026) and approved by Competition Advocate Jamie Wiebusch (dated August 19, 2026), with approval authority designated to the Competition Advocate due to estimated contract value exceeding $10,000,000.
