About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime solicitation. The procurement is for 203 Maintenance Kits for Utility Trucks (HMMWV), with a base quantity at an undisclosed price. BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. is the sole identified source, justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the only known manufacturer with necessary technical data rights. Market research conducted on 11-19-24 contacted two vendors, receiving no substantive responses, and a sources sought notice on SAM.gov yielded only one non-approved response from BHPE LLC.

The solicitation is a firm, fixed-price direct requirement (PR 7007468226) for a non-commercial item. DLA determined no commercial pricing was available and no alternative sources could be identified. The procurement will utilize FAR 15 procedures, with the solicitation containing specific DLA procurement notes for part-numbered items. The justification was digitally approved by the Contracting Officer and Competition Advocate, with the procurement falling in the $750,000 to $15,000,000 approval category. A technical certification memo is attached supporting the lack of available technical data to permit full and open competition.

Based on the above techniques, the Contracting Officer anticipates that the cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.

The PO history shows multiple past awards:

A sources sought request was posted on SAM.gov on 11-26-24 and was posted for 5 business days.

Types of information requested:

1. Business size.

Therefore, the Contracting Officer determines this item to be non-commercial, thus FAR 15 procedures will be utilized.
