This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for solicitation SPE7L126R0038 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus). The document justifies a restricted acquisition from a single source on other than a full and open competition basis.

The acquisition seeks to procure power supply spare parts (NSN 6130012938504 / P/N 1000530-009) in a quantity of 5 each plus 100% option quantity option. The contract is firm-fixed-price under FAR Part 15, with an estimated base value and total value (including options) that are redacted. The end item is the Los Angeles Class SSN (688), EXN. The sole approved source identified is RANTEC POWER SYSTEMS INC. (CAGE 60132), justified under AMC 3 authority to acquire directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time. The justification cites AMSC D—that the data needed to acquire this part competitively is not physically available, cannot be obtained economically, nor can adequate specifications be drafted for a competitive solicitation. Market research efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on 12/8/2025 and a market survey conducted on 12/3/2025 contacting RANTEC POWER SYSTEMS INC. and AIR MARINE SYSTEMS INC., with only RANTEC responding. The solicitation will be synopsized on or about 1/20/2026 for 15 days, and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. The document includes provisions encouraging alternate source submissions and was approved by the Competition Advocate for acquisitions over $900,000.
