Summary: CUI Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (AVN Form S53, June 2026) for a sole source and limited competition acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support located in Richmond.

Acquisition Details and Justification: The acquisition is an amendment to a previous action for supplies/services under FAR Part 12, with solicitation number SPE4A626RX503. The supplies/services are described in an attached document with four National Item Numbers (NIINs), though the brief description, quantity, and estimated value are redacted in this document. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a five-year base period and no options. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing availability from only one or limited number of sources. The identified sources are The Timken Corporation (CAGE 60038) and Goodrich Corporation (CAGE 97153).

Competition and Marketing Efforts: A Sources Sought notice/Request for Information (RFI) was posted to Contract Opportunities on February 24, 2026, which resulted in one response from Jamaica Bearings (CAGE 04836). The acquisition is restricted to the only source(s) known to have the capability to furnish the required supplies/services. A market survey was conducted, and firms indicating interest will be solicited. The justification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and that no Justification and Approval (J&A) requirements exist for previous buys on the NSN(s). The Contracting Officer Herbert Davis certified the justification on July 22, 2026, and approval authority is delegated to the Contracting Officer for acquisitions not exceeding $10 million.
