This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (CUI Form S53, March 2026).

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support activity in Richmond is acquiring 17 units of GEAR_SPUR (NSN/PN: 3020008695437 / 6846363) on a sole source basis from Rolls-Royce Corporation (CAGE 63005) under a firm fixed price contract. The solicitation number is SPE4A526R0245. The document identifies the statutory authority for limited competition as 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that supplies are available from only one or limited number of sources. The justification specifically references AMSC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality). A sources sought notice/RFI was posted to SAM.GOV on 06/10/2026 with zero responses. The document notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. The document indicates the acquisition will be synopsized on SAM.GOV approximately 06/22/2026 to allow other interested manufacturers to submit source approval request (SAR) packages for DLA's consideration under IAW Procurement Notes L04 and M06. No previous J&A exists for this item under SAT. The contracting officer Bailey Mikos certified approval on 6/18/26 for an estimated value not exceeding $10 million.
