This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for DLA Land and Maritime solicitation SPE7MX25R0080, dated February 2025.

The Defense Logistics Agency is procuring brake drums (NSN 3040-00-114-2298) classified under Federal Supply Class 3040 (Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment) for aircraft arresting systems. The acquisition is structured as a five-year indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed-price contract under FAR Part 15, consisting of a three-year base period with two option years. Two manufacturers have been identified as the only responsible sources capable of supplying form, fit, and functionally interchangeable spare parts: Curtiss-Wright Flow Services LLC (CAGE 21439, Large Business) with part number 52W1729-1, and Atech Inc. (CAGE 3KBH9, Small Business) with part number AD-2331420-1. The justification cites insufficient technical data, data rights, and manufacturing knowledge to support competitive acquisition, relying on statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and AMSC code R (Government does not own necessary data rights).

Market research efforts included a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on April 25, 2025 (five business days, no responses), a market survey conducted in February 2025 with follow-up in June 2025, posting to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for 30 days minimum, and synopsis on SAM.gov with revision. Procurement history review and general internet searches yielded no additional sources. The item was determined to be non-commercial. Price analysis will compare proposed prices to historical data and may include certified cost or pricing data review. The justification was certified by Contracting Officer Wolf Kristina and approved by Competition Advocate Will Melendez, requiring Competition Advocate approval due to estimated contract value exceeding $750,000.
