DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (March 2023)

DLA L&M conducted market research consisting of market survey mailings to the approved sources, large business Meggitt Defense Systems and small business Szczypski, Michael dba: Jordan Products, CAGE 0NEM2 and to three dealers contained in the procurement histories for these items. Market Research was conducted from 06/27/2023 to 02/07/2024 with the following results:

Market survey requests were sent to five companies and responses were received from two companies:

Szczypski, Michael dba: Jordan Products, CAGE 0NEM2, small business manufacturer, responded to the market survey. They have only provided these items to DOD/DLA or Defense-affiliated entities, not to commercial outlets, and was interested in the procurement.

Small business dealer, Jamaica Bearings Company CAGE 04833, responded to the market survey indicating that they would offer a part manufactured by approved source Meggitt North Hollywood Inc, CAGE 79318, and was interested in the procurement.

Meggitt North Hollywood Inc, CAGE 79318 responded to a market survey request and referred to their distributor, Jamaica Bearings Company CAGE 04833.

Integrated Procurement Technologies, CAGE 4K0V2 responded and indicated that they are unable to support these items.

Secure Components, LLC CAGE 506Y0 was contacted with a request to return market research but no response was received.

A review has been conducted of the items to determine if commercial items or non-developmental items are available to meet the Government’s needs or could be modified to meet the Government’s needs. A review of the NSNs show they were previously purchased separately. NSN 4730010723391 was most recently purchased under Solicitation SPE7M3-23-V-1922 and was not determined commercial by the previous Contracting Officer. NSN 4820011667219 was most recently purchased under Solicitation SPE7MC-23-V-3387and was not determined commercial by the previous Contracting Officer. NSN 4820011685145 was most recently purchased under SPE7M1-23-F-6362 and was not determined commercial by the previous Contracting Officer.

The current responses to Market research indicates that these items are not commercial. The buyer also completed internet research and was unable to find these items available to be purchased online. The product specialists were contracted and did not indicate that changing the commerciality was recommended. The contracting officer has determined after review of all the market research, the items are determined not to be commercial and will be solicited under FAR Part 15.
