JA - GTA DRUM - redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Construction and Equipment Supply Chain. The contracting activity seeks to procure 100 units of a Drum, Fabric, Collapsible (NSN: 8110-01-674-2266) from GTA Drum, Inc., the sole identified manufacturer capable of meeting DLA's requirements. The part number is GTA-500LF-SL3, with an estimated unit price and total dollar value that are redacted in the document.

The justification establishes that GTA Drum, Inc. is the only known approved source for this specialized military asset, which is engineered to operate under extreme physical stress and features a unique cylindrical, rolling design compatible with military transport systems. While commercial Drum, Fabric, Collapsible units exist in the market, none meet the required specifications for form, fit, and function outlined by DLA. The document notes that a Sources Sought Notice issued on April 20, 2026, which closed on May 6, 2026, yielded no responses or expressions of interest from alternative vendors. The authorization for this non-competitive procurement is derived from 41 U.S.C. § 1901 and implemented through Class Deviation 2026-00028, Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) and includes provisions to encourage alternate offers through DLAD Procurement Note M06 and clause L04. The Contracting Officer, Avril E. Dickerson, certified the justification on July 13, 2026, with concurrence from the Product Specialist.
