This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for procuring flat washers. The acquisition is for an Indefinite Quantity/Firm Fixed Price contract to purchase flat washers (NSN 5310-01-212-6161) with a quantity of 120 each. A sources sought notice was posted on 09/10/2025, but no vendors responded. The document indicates that this is a sole source acquisition directly from the manufacturer under AMC 3 procurement guidelines.

The procurement is for a small-value contract not exceeding $750,000, with the Contracting Officer Christopher Rose signing the document on 09/15/2025. The agency plans to post a synopsis and seek source approval packages through Procurement Notes M06 and L04. The NSN is deemed a 3R SAR package that requires becoming an approved source. The technical certification indicates that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, justifying the sole source approach.
