This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) document for solicitation SPE7MC25R0035 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus).

The solicitation concerns the acquisition of 20 units of a regulating fluid pressure valve (NSN/P/N 4810-014430283) for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) purposes under a firm-fixed-price contract with no quantity options or price-break ranges. The item is restricted to a single source, Aerocontrolex Group, Inc. (CAGE 81833), based on AMSC B designation, which requires acquisition from a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing as defined by DoD-STD-100. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for this limited competition approach. The government requires spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported end item or weapon system. Market research efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on September 12, 2025, which yielded no responses, and a market survey conducted from September 12-October 2, 2025, with contact attempts to Aerocontrolex Group receiving responses only on September 12, 2025. No other vendors expressed interest. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about October 8, 2025, for 15 days and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. Fair and reasonable pricing will be established through comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid and certified cost or pricing data as required. Contracting Officer approval is required for awards up to $900,000. The justification was digitally signed on October 17, 2025.
