This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for a sole-source procurement under Solicitation No. SPE7MC25R0015.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is acquiring 23 each pilot valves (NSN 4820013572587) for the Ticonderoga Class CG (47) weapon system on a firm-fixed-price basis. The procurement is restricted to Leslie Controls (CAGE 35795) as the only approved source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), based on the requirement for spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the supported end item. Leslie Controls is approved by the design control activity and is the only source known to possess the capability and design control approval. The AMSC code is C. Quantity ranges are included in the solicitation (1-5 EA, 6-10 EA, 11-23 EA) to accommodate potential requirement changes and reduce administrative lead time. The estimated total value is not disclosed in the unredacted portions.

The contracting officer conducted market research including a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on March 21, 2025 (yielding no additional parties), a market survey during March 21–April 5, 2025 (with only Leslie Controls responding), and general internet searches and CID database reviews that identified no alternative sources. The solicitation is synopsized on or about May 10, 2025, for 15 days on the DLA Internet Bid Board System. The justification includes provisions for alternate source qualification requests and encourages interested vendors to contact the DLA Source Approval Monitor. Price analysis will be conducted using proposed prices from the solicitation and historical pricing data. Approval authority rests with the Competition Advocate for acquisitions valued over $750,000 to $15,000,000.
