JA 11 Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (6.103-2) for a one-time buy of spare parts under Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support authority.

The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support, Columbus, seeking to acquire 11 valve components (regulating, linear directional control, flow control, and safety relief valves) with quantities ranging from 8 to 109 units per line item. The contract type is Firm-Fixed Price with fixed quantities and no options. The estimated total contract value across all items is redacted but individual prices are withheld. The solicitation uses FAR Part 15 (Negotiated Contracting). The sole approved source identified is Leslie Controls (CAGE 35795), based on a Formula Pricing Agreement (FPA) originally executed on July 23, 2026. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) as statutory authority, emphasizing that the Government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with currently used equipment, and Leslie Controls is the only known source capable of meeting the urgent need and currently approved by the design control activity. A sources sought notice was not posted to SAM.gov because competition is limited to the sole approved source. Market research via general internet search yielded no alternative sources, and searches of GSA Advantage and CID databases found the NSNs to be non-commercial. The justification indicates awards will include a redacted delivery period. Approval authority exceeds $10,000,000, requiring Competition Advocate signature certification dated August 19, 2026.
