This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Form S53) from DLA Aviation for a sole source procurement of ball annular bearings (NSN 3110-01-191-8274) with an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) 5-year base period. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 13.5 with Schaeffler Aerospace USA Corp (CAGE: 70854) as the sole source manufacturer.

The justification is based on AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for second or subsequent time) and AMSC B (must be acquired from manufacturing source specified on source control drawing). A Sources Sought notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on 10/23/2024 with no responses received. The acquisition will be synopsized on 11/1/2024. The contracting officer anticipates fair and reasonable pricing based on previous history. The total estimated value is under $750,000 as evidenced by the approval level requirements. Technical data is not available to permit full and open competition, and the Government cannot evaluate alternate proposals as the item is described in a non-government drawing.
