About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition for a single-source contract award.
The Defense Logistics Agency – Land Warren (DLA-WRN) proposes to award a new firm-fixed-price contract to Kiddie Technologies Inc. (CAGE 05BU0) for fire extinguishers, NSN 4210-01-562-0852, part number 422034. The fire extinguisher is a component of the automatic fire suppression system in the M1152A1 HMMWV Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV). The three-year long-term contract requires a minimum quantity of 48 units and maximum of 962 units per year, with a total estimated maximum contract value that is redacted. The acquisition method code is "3 – Acquire, for the second or subsequent time, directly from the actual manufacturer," and the suffix code is "R," indicating the Government does not own data or rights to use data for purchasing from alternative sources and determining it would be uneconomical to obtain them. The contract will be funded using Army Working Capital Funds.
The authority for this single-source procurement is 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) under FAR 6.302-1. The J&A cites that Kiddie Technologies Inc. is the only approved source for the fire extinguishing system bottle, and reverse engineering to create competitive alternatives would be duplicative in cost and time. Market research conducted December 17, 2024 through January 3, 2025 using multiple sources confirmed no other suppliers of the approved parts exist. The procurement history shows continuous awards to Kiddie Technologies since 2009, including a long-term contract (SPRDL1-20-D-0132) awarded September 15, 2020, which expired September 15, 2023. Subcontracting competition requirements and small business utilization clauses will apply unless the contract is awarded to a small business. The Contracting Officer determined the fire extinguisher is a commercial product based on prior FAR Part 12 procurement procedures and established precedent. No interested sources have expressed interest in this item, and there are no plans to increase competition for future procurements.
