About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under FAR 6.302-1 for solicitation SPE7LX25R0070 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime.
The acquisition involves spare parts for HMMWV (Humvee) vehicle systems, specifically a control assembly (NSN 2520-01-677-9092) with an annual demand of 2,350 units. The contract is structured as a 5-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed-price contract with a 3-year base period, 1-year option period, and 2 additional options. The acquisition is restricted to two approved sources: AM General LLC (CAGE 34623) and Powertrain Control Solutions LLC (CAGE 4WR67). The justification is based on AMSC C designation, requiring engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality, as the approved sources retain exclusive manufacturing knowledge and technical data essential to ensuring part quality. The Government certified on 5/22/2025 that the approved sources and AMC/AMSC codes are accurate.
Market research efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on 5/29/2025 for five business days, which yielded a response from BHPE LLC (though the survey response details are redacted). A market survey was conducted on 5/21/2025 contacting Janels Industries (CAGE 3B8L1), which expressed interest in pursuing a long-term contract and was identified as a small business dealer. The procurement history review and general internet search yielded no alternate sources. The solicitation will be synopsized on SAM.gov for 15 days prior to opening and includes DLAD Procurement Note L04 allowing alternate offers and requesting evaluation of alternate products for future procurements. Contract value details are redacted. Competition Advocate approval was obtained on 7/22/2025, with Contracting Officer signature dated 7/15/2025, indicating the contract value exceeds $750,000 but not $15,000,000.
