JA SPE4A525R0104_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Document) for a sole source and limited competition acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) at Aviation/Richmond FMAB.

The acquisition is for 60 air conditioners with NSN/PN 4120015834350/51090054-1-1 under a firm fixed price contract with no options. The contracting activity is identified as SPE4A525B0104. The acquisition is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority, restricted to the only source(s) known to have the capability to furnish the required supplies. The sole source identified is CAGE 07217, Company 51090054-1-1. The justification cites AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC B (must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing) as the basis for limiting competition.

Competitive efforts included a mass sources sought notice containing NSN 015834350 posted to Contract Opportunities on 08/01/2024. The acquisition is synopsized on or about 02/11/2025, with solicitation copies available to interested firms. The estimated cost is fair and reasonable based on a market survey conducted with published results on 08/01/2024. Additional facts supporting the sole source justification include technical certification indicating that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, with available data reflecting minimum government needs. The justification requires Competition Advocate approval (for amounts between $750,000 and $15,000,000) and Head of Contracting Activity approval (for amounts between $15,000,000 and $100,000,000). The document was signed by the Contracting Officer Eric Simpson/KO on 1/29/2025 and approved by Competition Advocate Yolanda Calvin Maupin/COMPAD on 2/3/25.
