This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for a limited competition acquisition under FAR 6.103-1, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus).

The contracting activity seeks to acquire a Parts Kit, Ball Joint (NSN 2530015548288) as an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with a firm-fixed-price structure. The contract spans 5 years total, consisting of a 3-year base period and 1-year option period with 2 total options. The acquisition is restricted to two approved sources: AM General LLC (CAGE 34623) and Federal Mogul Corp Sub Wagner Brake Moog Automotive Div (CAGE 99167). The item is a parent WSDC (Weapon System Deployment Component) for all Army MRAP WSDCs. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and AMSC B authority, indicating the part must be acquired from a manufacturing source specified on a source control or selected item drawing per DoD-STD-100. A Product Specialist certification of the approved sources was completed on March 16, 2026 (Attachment 1). The acquisition will be synopsized for 3 days on or about April 30, 2026, and posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System for a minimum of 30 days. A sources sought notice posted March 18, 2026 yielded no responses. Market research conducted March 18-25, 2026 contacted both approved vendors but received no responses. Procurement history review and general internet search yielded no additional manufacturing sources. A previous justification from contract SPE7LX20D0222 is attached (Attachment 2).
