About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document under FAR 6.302-1 for solicitation SPE7MX-25-R-X010, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime in February 2025.
The acquisition covers spare parts for three naval vessel and helicopter systems: the Ship, Ohio Class SSN (Trident) receiver, Virginia Class Submarine rail safety component, and Chinook CH-47 helicopter cock drain. Annual demand quantities are 116 units, 5 units, and 1,953 units respectively. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price indefinite delivery contract with a 3-year base period and 2-year option period, totaling 5 years. Only two sources have been identified as capable of supplying the required parts: MarathonNorco Aerospace, Inc. (CAGE 08844) and GK Mechanical Systems LLC (CAGE 3BU57). The restriction to these sources is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on AMSC code C, which requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality and technical data control. The estimated base value and total contract value are redacted in the document.
Market research efforts included posting a Sources Sought Notice on SAM.gov on October 31, 2024, which received only one automated bot response from BHPE, LLC, with no substantive vendor interest. A market survey contacted seven vendors, with only MarathonNorco Aerospace and Integrated Procurement Technologies expressing interest. The solicitation was synopsized on March 26, 2025, for 7 days and will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through price analysis and comparison to historical data. The Contracting Officer signed the J&A on April 25, 2025, and the Competition Advocate approved it on May 12, 2025. Approval authority rests with the Competition Advocate due to the contract value exceeding $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
FAR 6.302-1 (ONE OR LIMITED NUMBER OF RESPONSIBLE SOURCES)
SOLICITATION NO.: SPE7MX-25-R-X010
DLA Land & Maritime Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (February 2025)
Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.
On October 16, 2024, the Product Specialist of record certified the accuracy of the approved source(s) and applicable AMC/AMSC codes. A copy of the technical certification is attached. As technical certification has aged since project inception, a refreshed certification was requested on April 25, 2025. If any changes are received, this document will be addended.
6. The following efforts are being taken to ensure that offers are solicited from as many sources as practicable:
[ x ] The acquisition was synopsized on March 26, 2025 for a period of 7 days.
[ x ] The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days.
7. I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
A price analysis will be conducted based on a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation and/or a comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid. Certified cost or pricing data, when required by FAR 15.403-4, and data other than certified cost or pricing data, will be requested and obtained as necessary to establish a fair and reasonable price, and a cost analysis may be performed on the data submitted.
8. Market Research/Efforts to Obtain Competition:
Sources Sought Notice:
[ x ] A Sources Sought Notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov on October 31, 2024 for a period of seven business days and yielded the following results:
One (1) response received from BHPE, LLC, which appeared to be an automated bot response. Buyer sent a follow-up email to BHPE on 4/15/2025 and did not receive a response from the sender of the automated message. No responsible vendors responded to the Sources Sought Notice.
Market Survey:
[ x ] A market survey was conducted on October 31, 2024.
Names and CAGE Codes of vendors contacted:
- MarathonNorco Aerospace, INC. (CAGE: 08844)
- GK Mechanical LLC (CAGE 3BU57)
- Integrated Procurement Technologies (CAGE 4K0V2)
- HC Merchandisers, INC. (CAGE 53037)
- Pioneer Industries, LLC (CAGE 66200)
- Percipient Manufacturing LLC (CAGE 9BTF9)
[ ] The solicitation contains DLAD Procurement Note, L22 Restriction of Alternate Offers for Source Controlled Items, which advises Offerors who are interested in qualifying their product for purposes of future acquisitions that they must contact the design control activity specified on the source control drawing. (AMSC B only)
DLA Land and Maritime encourages vendors that may be interested in becoming an approved source, even if there is not an active solicitation, to contact the DLA Land and Maritime Source Approval Monitor at DSCCAO- SAR@dla.mil for additional information on the steps required to submit a Source Approval Request Package for evaluation.
In accordance with DFARS PGI 206.303-2, [ x ] A prior justification is not available since all prior acquisitions for CLIN0001 and CLIN0002 were under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
[ x ] The Contract Specialist could not locate the prior J&A for contract SPE7LX-19-D-0145 (CLIN0003).
I hereby certify that the information contained in this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. If not exceeding $750,000, this signature serves as the approval.
