About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime. The solicitation (SPE7L125Q1123) is for 107 units of Arm Control, Vehicular Suspension (NSN 2530-01-605-3206) for the Army MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) weapon system. The procurement is being conducted as a sole-source acquisition from ND Defense LLC (CAGE Code 338X5), with the justification based on the company's unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge that are essential to maintaining the quality of the part.
The market research included a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov from February 20-27, 2025, which yielded no responses. A market survey was conducted with Badger Truck and Automotive Group, Inc., which confirmed that the item is not commercial and that no other manufacturing sources have been identified. DLA Land and Maritime is encouraging potential vendors to submit a Source Approval Request Package to become an approved source for future procurements. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 10 days, and the procurement will be synopsized on or about March 1, 2025, for a period of 1 day.
