JA 11 Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (6.103-2) document prepared by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support for a one-time fixed-quantity acquisition of spare parts under Firm-Fixed Price contracting.

The acquisition involves 11 valve items across various nomenclatures including regulating, linear directional control, flow control, and safety relief valves, with quantities ranging from 8 to 109 units per item. These components are required to meet spare parts needs for supported weapon systems and are identified by Federal Stock Class 4820 with specific NSNs and quantities listed in the attached spreadsheet. The total estimated contract value is redacted but exceeds $10,000,000. The sole approved source identified is Leslie Controls, Inc. (CAGE 35795) based on a current Formula Pricing Agreement originally executed 7/23/2026. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) as statutory authority, asserting that Leslie Controls is the only known source capable of providing form, fit, and functionally interchangeable spare parts approved by design control and meeting the Agency's urgent need. Market research efforts included internet searches, GSA Advantage and CID database searches, and a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov, all yielding no competing sources. The Contract Specialist determined the identified NSNs are non-commercial items. Price fairness was established through Formula Pricing Agreement negotiations aimed at reducing profit margins annually based on efficiencies and award volume. The justification received Competition Advocate approval and is subject to post-award Determination and Finding for SPE approval due to timeline constraints.
