About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procurement. The solicitation (SPRDL1-24-R-0045) is for a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to acquire 106 Traverse Bearing Assemblies (NSN 3110-01-095-8792) for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, with an option for an additional 106 units. The contract will be awarded to either Kaydon Corp or Rotek Inc., using Army Working Capital Funds. The government determined that no alternative sources exist due to lack of technical data and intellectual property rights, and market research conducted in January 2024 failed to identify additional manufacturers.
The procurement is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as a sole-source acquisition. The previous contract from February 2020 was also awarded to Jamaica Bearings Co. Inc. (a Kaydon Corporation authorized distributor). The document indicates that reverse engineering a Technical Data Package (TDP) would be time-consuming and costly. The total contract value was redacted, but the quantity is 212 units (106 base + 106 option). The government will consider adding contractors if they build a unit and become qualified, but no additional sources are currently in the qualification process.
