Summary

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 spare parts in October 2025. The acquisition consists of various valve types (regulating, linear directional control, flow control, and safety relief valves) with FSC code 4820, totaling 11 line items with quantities ranging from 8 to 109 units. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed Price award with a fixed quantity and no options. Leslie Controls (CAGE 35795) has been identified as the sole approved source based on a Formula Pricing Agreement (FPA) originally executed on July 23, 2026, with the intent to renegotiate profit annually based on efficiencies and volume.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) as the statutory authority for the sole-source acquisition, asserting that Leslie Controls is the only known source with capability to provide spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently in use on the supported end item or weapon system. A price analysis was conducted for fair and reasonableness determination. The document notes that no market survey was conducted due to the Impact Statement, and a Sources Sought notice was posted with competition limited to the sole approved source. The acquisition is anticipated to exceed $10,000,000, requiring Competition Advocate approval. Future mitigation efforts include reverse-engineering studies and publication of specifications on SAM.gov to identify alternative suppliers for subsequent acquisitions.
