This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support activity in Richmond for a sole source acquisition.

The acquisition involves the procurement of 70 lever unit multiply items with NSN 2915-000754031. The action is classified as a new acquisition with a fixed-price contract type that will not include options. The estimated contract value is redacted but falls below $900,000, placing it under the Contracting Officer's approval authority. A sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on January 26, 2026, but no capable vendors responded. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limited competition and identifies the sole source as ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC (CAGE 45934). The rationale is based on AMSC 3, which authorizes acquisition directly from the manufacturer for the second or subsequent time, and AMSC C, requiring engineering source approval to maintain part quality. The government conducted a market survey through the sources sought notice posted to SAM.gov; no vendors indicated interest in providing the item. The contracting officer, Mary B. Williams, certified the justification on February 3, 2026, and the document indicates efforts will be made to ensure fair and reasonable pricing through FPA and informal cost data provided with bid submissions.
