This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. The contract is for a Valve Assembly, Drain with NSN/PN 2915-010796071, with an estimated quantity of 5-Year QTY 1,840 units. The Defense Logistics Agency sought to acquire this item directly from the manufacturer, Auto-Valve, Inc., after conducting a sources sought notice on SAM.GOV which resulted in no responses received.

Key details include the contract being a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-Year Base Period. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limited competition, specifically under AMC 3 (acquire directly from the manufacturer) and AMSC C (requires engineering source approval). A market survey was conducted via a sources sought notice, and the technical certification indicates that technical data is not available to permit full and open competition. The contract is below the $750,000 threshold, requiring approval from the Contracting Officer.
