This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) sole-source contract award. The Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN) proposes to award a new Firm-Fixed-Price contract to AMBAC International Corporation, Renk America Inc., or a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) offeror providing the approved product for National Stock Number (NSN) 2910-01-073-0124, Pump Assembly, Fuel Injection Metering. The basic quantity deliverable and optional quantity are redacted, with a total maximum contract value that is also redacted. The Acquisition Method Code (AMC) is 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time), and the Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) is B, restricting acquisition to sources specified on Source Control, Altered Item, or Selected Item drawings/documents.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. §3204(a)(1) as statutory authority under FAR 6.302-1 for sole-source procurement. Primary reasons for sole-source justification include the government's lack of pertinent technical data and rights to the Technical Data Package (TDP) or specifications, with only AMBAC International Corporation and Renk America LLC demonstrated to possess the requisite technical and engineering expertise and unique manufacturing capabilities to repeatedly manufacture quality injection pumps. Developing a competitive TDP through reverse engineering is estimated at $4.61 million with significant time delays. Market research conducted on October 3, 2024, and a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov in January 2025 for 18 days yielded no additional sources. Procurement history shows prior competitive and sole-source awards to AMBAC International dating to 2013, with recent sole-source awards to TECMOTIV(USA) (authorized AMBAC distributor) in May 2022 and March 2024. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on detailed cost/price analysis. The J&A was signed on April 21, 2025, by Robert Harrison, Contracting Officer, and approved by authority with signature date of February 25, 2025.
