This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53) for a sole source acquisition by DLA Weapons Support (FAZC).

The acquisition involves shackles (NSN 4030-015047788 / PN 3442534) with a quantity of 2780 units and a surge quantity of 6780 units. The contract is a firm-fixed-price indefinite quantity contract for a five-year base period with no options. The solicitation number is SPE4A726R0082, document identification number is 100021197, and the award is being made to Columbus McKinnon Corp (CAGE 13743/M6540). The justification is being approved under FAR Part 15 with a contracting activity code of FAZC.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for sole source acquisition, specifically citing AMSC D (data not economically available) and AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second or subsequent time). A sources sought notice and RFI were posted on Contract Opportunities on 12/1/2025, which resulted in no responses. A market survey was conducted via email to dealers requesting proposals. The justification notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. Procurement notes M06/L04 will be included to permit other vendors to submit SAR packets to enhance future competition. The anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on price comparison with historical prices and published market prices. The contracting officer Genesis Johnson certified the justification on 12/8/2025 for an acquisition not exceeding $900,000.
