This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI Form S53), a federal acquisition justification document for a limited competition procurement.

The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support (Richmond) under solicitation number SPE4A726R0639 for acquisition of hydraulic cylinders (NSN 1630-01087984). The estimated quantity is 160 units for the first year and 480 units over the three-year contract period. The contract type is a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Quantity (IQ) contract with a three-year base period and no options. The procurement is being pursued under FAR Part 15 authority (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)) as suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time, with the justification citing limited source capability. The only known sources capable of providing the required supplies are EATON CORP (CAGE 99643) and SIKORSKY (CAGE 78286), with an additional source indicating interest being JAMAICA BEARINGS (CAGE 04836).

The justification indicates that a sources sought notice and RFI were posted to SAM.GOV on 06/01/26, which resulted in no responses. The anticipated cost to the Government is determined to be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing analysis. Technical data is not available to permit full and open competition. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 06/12/26 with a solicitation synopsis posted, and any firm requesting a copy will be provided one. The justification is approved at the Contracting Officer level (under $10 million) and is signed by Ryan Loeffelholz, KO, dated 06/01/2026.
