About this file

This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, seeks to acquire 4 Piston Parts Kits (NSN 2815-016962302) for the Whidbey Island Class LSD weapon system. The procurement is being pursued as a sole source acquisition with Fairbanks Morse, LLC (CAGE code 7PZX0), which is deemed the only known source with the necessary data and manufacturing rights for the item.

The document indicates that market research was conducted, including a sources sought notice on SAM.Gov and a market survey involving two vendors (JGILS, LLC and DELA TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION), which yielded no viable alternative sources. The acquisition will be synopsized on DIBBS for 15 days prior to solicitation and posted for 30 days, with the contracting officer anticipating a fair and reasonable cost using historical pricing, Producer Price Index analysis, and learning curve evaluation. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the procurement is in the $750,000 to $15,000,000 range, requiring Competition Advocate approval.

The use of the authority cited below:

[X] AMC 3. Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer.

The use of the authority cited is based on:

[X] AMSC D. The data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, it cannot be obtained economically, nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications or any other adequate, economical description of the material for a competitive solicitation. AMCS 3, 4, or 5 are valid.

Product Specialist, , certified the technical data certifications on February 26, 2025 (see attachment).

There is no outstanding DLA Form 339 request for additional sources. DLA does not possess adequate data, lacks rights to data, and/or has no record of an alternate Design Control Activity approved source. The data presently available reflects the minimum needs of the government.

[X] The acquisition will be synopsized for 15 days prior to the solicitation opening on DIBBS and solicitation will be posted in DIBBS for 30 days.

7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. A price analysis will be conducted using historical pricing, the Producer Price Index (PPI), and learning curve analysis. Cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4 will be requested if the offeror’s proposal exceeds the $2M threshold for obtaining cost data, however, it is anticipated that this procurement will not exceed that threshold.

Offerors may be requested to submit information other than cost or pricing data for determining price reasonableness. Based on the above techniques, the Contracting Officer anticipates that the cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
