This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1) for a single-source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support (Columbus).

The contracting activity seeks to acquire voltage regulators for the Patriot Missile system (NSN 6110015068086, ADQ 748) on a Firm-Fixed Price basis under an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract. The base period is 5 years with a 4-year option period. The acquisition is restricted to CE Niehoff & CO (CAGE 76761), identified as the only source capable of furnishing spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with those currently used on the end item. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), based on AMC 3 justification that the data needed for competitive acquisition is not physically available and cannot be obtained economically. The anticipated cost estimates are redacted in the document.

The Government conducted market research efforts to identify potential sources, including a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on 2/25/2026 that yielded only one interested party (CAGE 7RD50/MDS Inc.), which subsequently declined participation. Procurement history review and internet searches identified no alternative manufacturing sources. The solicitation, scheduled for synopsis on approximately 4/9/2026, will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum 30-day period, with alternate offerors evaluated and forwarded for Engineering Support Activity approval. Price analysis will be conducted through comparison of proposed prices and historical data. The Contracting Officer (Zachary Mullins) certified the justification on 4/13/2026, with approval authority up to $10,000,000.
