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 (SPE7L125Q1715) is for an Installation Kit, Mechanical (NSN 3040-01-694-4479), with a quantity of 6 kits plus 100% options. The procurement is being conducted as a sole-source acquisition to Fairbanks Morse, LLC (CAGE 7PZX0), with the justification based on the government not owning the technical data rights and finding it uneconomical to purchase or reverse engineer the part.

The acquisition will be a firm-fixed-price contract using FAR Subpart 13.5 procedures, with a solicitation posted on the DLA Internet Bid Board System for at least 10 days. A market survey was conducted on 3/18/2025, involving Chand, LLC (the approved distributor for Fairbanks Morse), which confirmed the commercial nature of the item as a subcomponent of an engine model. DLA Land and Maritime encourages other potential vendors to submit a Source Approval Request Package to become an approved source for future procurements, even if not part of the current solicitation.
