This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole-source contract award by the Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support (DLAWS) at Warren.

The Integrated Logistics Support Center Detroit Arsenal is procuring an Engine, Diesel (NSN 2815-01-590-7080) from E.D. Etnyre Company under a new firm fixed-price contract using Army Working Capital Funds. The product is used on the Water Tank Distributor for M1074 and M1075 Palletized Load System (PLS) trucks and M1076 PLS trailers. The base quantity is 5 units with a 100% option quantity of 5 units, totaling 10 units. The contract value is redacted in the document. The acquisition method is AMC Code 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time directly from the actual manufacturer), with AMSC Code R applied because the Government does not own the Technical Data Package or specifications, and it is uneconomical to purchase them. The statutory authority for this sole-source procurement is 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) under FAR 6.302-1, citing only one responsible source and no other supplies or services that satisfy agency requirements.

The Government determined it cannot pursue effective competition due to proprietary data restrictions and the impracticality of reverse-engineering costs. A Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov on December 2, 2025 for 15 days received no responses. No additional sources have expressed interest in the product. The procurement includes standard FAR clauses for small business subcontracting plans and liquidated damages unless awarded to a small business, along with DoD small business subcontracting requirements. The contracting officer certified fair and reasonable pricing based on cost and price analysis, with no certified cost data required as the procurement does not exceed the $2.5 million threshold. Prior procurement history shows a 2012-2013 purchase order with E.D. Etnyre Company valued at $58,413.40.
