This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) document for a limited source acquisition.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support is procuring a Valve Assembly (NSN 4810-01-523-8861) in a quantity of 2 each for use on the LPD-17 Class Amphibious Transporters. The acquisition is structured as a firm-fixed-price, fixed-quantity contract under FAR 12.201-1 (Commercial Item acquisition). The sole identified source is Supreme Integrated Technology, INC. (CAGE 0BJ09), selected under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) (AMC 3 - acquire directly from manufacturer) based on AMSC code D, as the data needed for competitive solicitation is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, and adequate specifications cannot be drafted. The Product Specialist certified the accuracy of the approved source on 8/12/2026.

Regarding competition efforts, the solicitation was posted to SAM.gov on 27 FEB26x as a simplified acquisition procedure (SAT) procurement, with two bidders contacted via DIBBS: Supreme Integrated Technology, INC. (0BJ09) and S I T corporation (1MQB3). Market research efforts included procurement history review and general internet search, which yielded no additional sources. A separate listing of interested sources identified Limmarr Associates, INC. (1GX03). The solicitation includes a DLAD Procurement Note (L04) permitting alternate offers with technical acceptability evaluation for future procurements. The contracting officer has approval authority for contracts up to $10,000,000, and this justification serves as the approval for the acquisition.
