This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the acquisition of a Parts Kit, Jack (NSN/PN 5120-01-206-1787) from Columbus Jack Corp. (CAGE 00994). The acquisition is for 10 units on a firm fixed price basis with an indefinite quantity contract type that will not include options. The solicitation number is SPFQA726R0288, and this represents a new action under FAR Part 15.

The justification documents efforts to pursue competition, including a sources sought notice/Request for Information posted on Contract Opportunities on 12/22/2025 that resulted in no vendor responses. The government determined that only Columbus Jack Corp. possesses the capability to furnish the required supplies, citing that the NSN is deemed 3D with a Source Approval Request (SAR) package required to become an approved source. The technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition. Market research was not conducted because there is only one approved source that would not result in receipt of a competitive data package, and a 3D SAR package is required for NSN approval. The acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority, specifically under AMC 3 (acquire directly from manufacturer for second/subsequent time) and AMSC D (data not economically available). The Contracting Officer, Christopher Rose, approved the justification on 12/22/2025 for an estimated value not exceeding $900,000.
