MFR Limiting Competition Signed_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Micro-Purchase Threshold (MFR) Limiting Competition form for the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal. The procurement is for 5 Norton Grinding Wheels (Part Number 3NQP80-JVS Type 1), with specific technical requirements including 24" diameter, 4.5" width, and 12" arbor size. The contract is a new requirement with fixed-price pricing, using FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) authority for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. RIA-JMTC justifies the Norton brand specification based on already developed procedures and processes, noting that switching brands would require significant manufacturing process changes and increased setup/runtime.

The market research indicates the requirement will be competed as a total Small Business set-aside, with prices to be determined fair and reasonable through competitive quotations. The document was digitally signed by a Contracting Officer on May 5, 2025, and includes instructions to include a copy in the contract file and send the approved justification to CONOPS for redacting prior to posting. The total estimated value of the action is not explicitly stated, but the procurement is for a specific quantity of grinding wheels with a brand-specific requirement.
