This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.103-1) document for a limited source acquisition under Solicitation No. SPE7M426R0012 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Columbus.

The procurement is for 107 pneumatic relays (NSN 5945-01-084-2288), Ticonderoga Class CG (47) end items, on a firm-fixed-price basis. The acquisition is restricted to Leslie Controls (CAGE 35795) as the sole source based on AMC 3 authority (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time) and AMSC C requirements, which mandate engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality. The Government determined that Leslie Controls is the only known source with the capability to furnish the required supplies and is currently approved by the design control activity. A product specialist certified the accuracy of the approved source and applicable AMC/AMSC codes on 11/12/2025. The estimated contract value is redacted in the document. The contract type is firm-fixed-price with a fixed quantity of 107 units and quantity ranges of 1-60, 61-120, 121-180, and 181-240 for potential future requirements.

Market research efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on 10/28/2025 for five business days, which yielded one response. A market survey conducted from 10/21/2025 to 3/3/2026 contacted and received a response from Leslie Controls only. Procurement history review and general internet search revealed no alternative manufacturing sources. The solicitation will be synopsized on or about 3/27/2026 for 15 days and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. The Contracting Officer approved this justification, which does not require additional approval as the contract value does not exceed $10,000,000.
