JA JERED Belt Conveyor 3.20.2026_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document authorizing a sole-source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Construction and Equipment Supply (C&E) Supply Chain. The contracting activity seeks to procure a Belt Conveyor (National Stock Number 3910-01-626-4127) manufactured by JERED, LLC. (CAGE 98523) with supplier part number 8000662. The acquisition is justified under the authority of 41 U.S.C. § 1901, as implemented by Class Deviation 2026-O0028, Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul Part 12, Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) Part 212, and Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12.102(b) Restricting Competition.

The justification establishes that JERED, LLC. is the only source capable of providing the required Belt Conveyor (P/N 8000662) to meet government requirements, as no other vendors offer equivalent products that satisfy DLA's specifications. To expand competition, DLA published a Sources Sought Notice on January 29, 2026, via the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) portal identifying the requirement for P/N 8000662. The acquisition will be synopsized on SAM.gov and the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS), with the justification published for public inspection. The Contracting Officer, Russell Keiser, certified the anticipated cost to the Government as fair and reasonable. DLA intends to perform market research prior to future acquisitions for this requirement and will include DLAD Procurement Notes M06 and L04 in solicitations to encourage submission of offers for alternate products, with any alternate offers forwarded to the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) for evaluation.
