This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI - Controlled Unclassified Information) document submitted by DLA Aviation-Richmond for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 13.5.

The acquisition seeks to procure ball, annular bearings (NSN 3110-01-126-7590) in a quantity of 108 units. The item is being acquired directly from the manufacturer, Schaeffler Aerospace (CAGE 70854), under a single IDC with a 5-year base period. The contracting activity is the Bearings Division - FMEC, with solicitation number SPE4A6-26-R-X203. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limiting competition, specifically citing AMSC B (acquisition from manufacturing source specified on source control drawing) and AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for subsequent time). A sources sought notice and RFI were posted on the Contract Opportunities website on November 3, 2025, but resulted in no responses received. A market survey was conducted that determined additional manufacturing sources could not be identified. Section 13 indicates that a Procurement Notice L22 will be issued, which replaces a deleted clause/provision, noting the item is source-control with AMSC B designation. The Contracting Officer (Priscilla Lee) certified the justification on January 12, 2026, with approval authority at the Contracting Officer level for acquisitions not exceeding $900,000.
