This is a Justification and Approval document for a sole-source contract award for nozzle assemblies used on the M88 Family of Vehicles.

The Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support (DLAWS) at Warren is procuring 1,408 Nozzle Assembly, Lubricating units (NSN 2815-01-434-4203) through a new firm-fixed-price contract. The base quantity is 704 units with a 100% option for an additional 704 units. The contract will be awarded to either Renk America LLC (CAGE 02978, located in Muskegon, Michigan) or Tecmotiv (USA), Inc. (CAGE 0L7R7, located in Niagara Falls, New York). The estimated total contract value is redacted but the procurement is valued between $900,000 and $20 million. The contracting officer is Jacob Silcox, and the contract utilizes Army Working Capital Funds.

The justification for sole-source procurement cites the lack of a complete Technical Data Package (TDP) available for competitive use and the Government's inability to obtain intellectual property rights necessary for competitive re-procurement. The Government performed market research through a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov from July 2-28, 2025, which yielded only one response from Tecmotiv (USA) Inc. The authorization for non-competitive procurement is based on 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, citing only one responsible source and that no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The procurement history shows prior contracts with Tecmotiv and other vendors dating from 2016 to 2022, with values ranging from approximately $14,764 to $72,310.
