SPE4A525Q1134_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI – Controlled Unclassified Information) document for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 13.5.

The acquiring activity is DLA Aviation – FME (Document Identification Number: PR 7009611447, Solicitation Number: SPE4AS-25-Q-1134). The acquisition concerns bearing roller airframe parts, specifically NSN 3110-01-311-0024 and PN 114RS225-1, with a quantity of 620 each. The acquisition is a firm fixed price contract with no options. Two sources with demonstrated capability have been identified: Industrial Tectonics Bearings (CAGE 06144) and RBC Bearings Incorporated (CAGE 51588).

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority for limited competition. The primary legal basis selected is AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC Q (the Government does not have adequate data, lacks rights to data, or both; it is not economical to buy the data or rights to the data). A sources sought notice/RFI was posted on SAM.gov on 6/10/2025 with no responses received. The estimated value appears to be above $15 million, requiring technical certification. The document indicates that fair and reasonable pricing will be determined by discussing relevant pricing issues and that a market survey was conducted via SAM.gov synopsis with no vendor responses indicating intent to provide the item. Approval authority is assigned to the Competition Advocate for this acquisition level (over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000). The contracting officer (Christy L. Oakley) and Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) have certified the justification as of 6/18/2025 and 6/23/2025, respectively.
