This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a Defense Logistics Agency contract. The Defense Logistics Agency - Land Warren (DLA-WRN) proposes to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Pearson Engineering, Ltd. (PEL) for the High Lift Adapter (HLA) Quick Release Manifold Assembly, used on the Assault Breacher Vehicle Front End Equipment. The basic quantity is 59 units with a 100% option, bringing the total to 118 units, utilizing Army Working Capital Funds.

The contract is being awarded using FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source) due to the lack of technical data and the complexity of re-engineering the part. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice and internet searches, found no suitable alternative sources. The estimated engineering costs for reverse engineering and developing an alternative source include Technical Data Package development, product tooling, manufacturing tooling, and testing/qualification. The total estimated maximum value is redacted, and the contract will be awarded to the current source to minimize downtime and avoid significant re-engineering costs.
