SPE4A526Q0188_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Sole Source and Limited Competition (CUI Form S53, October 2025) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency for DLA Weapons Support Richmond.

The document justifies a limited competition acquisition for shroud segment turbine components (NSN 2840-01-493-9438 and 9531M70G04) with a quantity of 31 units. The acquisition is structured as a firm fixed-price contract without options. The contracting activity is DLA Weapons Support Richmond under solicitation number SPE4A526Q0188, with a document identification number 70144931705. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for acquisition from available sources only. Two sources have been identified as capable: General Electric Company (CAGE 07482) and Union Machine Co of Lynn, Inc (CAGE 51992). The justification indicates that a sources sought notice and Request for Information (RFI) were posted to Contract Opportunities on 11/24/25, resulting in a response from A&B Foundry CAGE 1A004 containing business information and a tailored capability statement. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about 12/03/2025 with solicitation copies provided to requesting firms. The justification cites multiple technical limitations, including that technical data is unavailable and cannot be developed for full and open competition, and that the original equipment manufacturer is unwilling to sell data rights to the Government. The Competition Advocate approved the limited competition approach, and the justification was signed by Contracting Officer Kizzy Brinkley and approved by Competition Advocate Yolanda Osla Maupin at a level exceeding $900,000 but not exceeding $20 million.
