This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI - Controlled Unclassified Information) for a sole source acquisition filed by DLA Weapon Support-Aviation.

Acquisition Overview and Rationale

The procurement is for Reel Assembly Hose (NSN 1680-01-574-2203, MCQ 218) under a 5-year indefinite quantity contract from a single source—Hydraulics International, Inc. (CAGE 56529). The solicitation number is SPE4A726R0547, and a sources sought notice/Request for Information (RFI) was posted on Contract Opportunities on 04/08/2026. No responses were received to the RFI. The justification cites statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for limiting competition, specifically citing that the data needed to acquire this part is not economically available (AMSC D) and that the material has one approved source (CAGE 56529). An additional basis is that the Government does not own the data to make this material fully competitive. A market survey was conducted with firms indicating interest in the acquisition. The anticipated cost to the Government is stated as fair and reasonable, though specific dollar values are redacted in the document.

Approval and Conditions

The justification was signed by Contracting Officer Genesis Johnson on 4/9/2026 and approved at the $10 million or below authority level, meaning approval was delegated to the Contracting Officer. Technical certification requirements apply if the acquisition value exceeds $15 million. The document includes notation that this solicitation will contain procurement notes M06L04 to allow interested parties to submit data for evaluation in order to reduce competition barriers for future acquisitions of this item.
