This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document submitted by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) for a sole source acquisition.

The acquisition concerns bearing, roller, and rod components (NSN 3110-00-431-6959) required in an indefinite quantity contract (IQC) with a 5-year base period and no options. DLA seeks to procure these supplies directly from REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLC (CAGE 77896) based on statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that only one or limited number of sources can furnish the required supplies. The justification is categorized under FAR Part 12 and designated as a limited competition procurement. The specific authority invoked is AMC 3 (acquire for the second or subsequent time, directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC D (data needed to acquire the part is not economically available). The acquisition is controlled by DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) and FM Bearings Division under PROCURE (General Procurement) distribution authority.

Competition efforts included a Sources Sought notice or RFI posted to Contract Opportunities on 3/11/2026, which resulted in one response from Kitco LLC (CAGE 34087). A market survey was conducted to identify interested firms. The contracting officer certified that anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable based on previous history. The justification addresses barriers to competition in subsequent acquisitions through posting the solicitation to allow other manufacturers to submit approval packages. The document was signed by Contracting Officer Herbert Davis on 7/24/2026 and is subject to approval not exceeding $10 million, requiring contracting officer signature authority.
